With different words: "I want to get this shit done." <-- This is an artifact of the mind, though it feels real. In Noting practice, you attempt to "note" the arising and passing of artifacts. So, what is this? "I feel an impulse to get shit done." <-- Letting go of "getting shit done" and staying more to the present. In the present, you feel the impulse, you are not spraying your mind out into the imagined future/past where the shit has to be done. "I feel an impulse to finish." <-- Letting go on what you specifically needs to get done. "I feel an impulse." <-- Letting go of the notion of "finishing" something. "I feel." <-- Letting go of the notion of automatically reacting to impulses. "Feel." <-- Letting go of the notion of "self". "..." <-- Mu. "" <-- <-- "Oh shit, what hell was that?!?" <-- Everything that lives, will die, and eventually, new things are born. Just as "these things will pass", there new thoughts and emotions will arise. And so it goes.
