It’s a rush to work so quickly and focus on your efficiency/expediency. I work an office job but there are times I daydream about my old service “assembly line” types of jobs when I get overwhelmed by work. You don’t think, just go and hit some crazy flow-state. Nowadays there are usually hours of prepping, building, testing, retooling, and approving anything I do and it doesn’t have the same immediate sense of accomplishment.

Yeah I have the same thoughts. I used to work in a plastic factory and even though I hated the job at the time, I look back fondly on the simplicity of it. Once you learn the machines, you can get in a good rhythm where your brain can wonder and you coast through your shift.
