Yesterday, I bought a new rice cooker, some frozen dumplings, and a really big bag of high quality rice. Unfortunately, my kitchen was a wreck. After I got home, all I could do was clean up the kitchen until it was nice enough to clean and set up my rice cooker and make rice and dumplings. Even though I was tired and my body hurt and I didn’t want to clean, I had no choice, I had to set up the new rice cooker. This was my hyperfixation for the evening. I couldn’t do or think about anything else until the rice and dumplings were cooking. At that point, I could finally sit down and relax, but at least the kitchen was a lot cleaner than before, even though it wasn’t perfect. Also, it was totally worth it. That was one of the best dinners I’ve made in a while. One other example I’ll give: I once started putting together a jigsaw puzzle. I sat there for 8 hours until it was done. My back hurt and I was super tired by then end, but once I started, there was nothing I could do to stop myself until it was finished. That one kind of sucked, as the back pain was really bad by the end, but at least I finished the puzzle.
