Creating things myself regulates me.

I just realised I like making things by hand. I like actually getting into the details and immersing myself into it! I helps regulate me and I feel relaxed afterwards. (As opposed to buzzing/feeling full of unspent energy/locked behind a pane of glass)

It relaxes my nervous energy, my anxiety and general feeling of depression.

I realise that it is healthy for me in so many ways to continue to create and design by hand, even if it takes a bit longer.. rather than getting it done by AI.! I do not like managing people - I love being a individual contributor... so obviously I don't like delegating my work to a machine too!
