Google HCU has got me in a psychological loop

Every 48 hours looks like this right now.
I wake up with some new niche idea (mostly pre-researched for competition and such), so i load up local (flywheel) and start designing a site. I use blueprints and pick between a bunch of my custom elementor themes i've created in the past. I work out all the semantics for the site, its catagories, its interlinking and use my tools to grab a handfull of ltk's. I load up the rest of my content creation suit and pump out some articles. I spend a massive amount of time tuneing and makeing these articles perfect. I go to bed happy and ready to work hard the next day.

Until the overthinking starts. I start going over all the content in my head "Oh wait is this even intent matching? Is this high quality enough for googles impossible new standards? Should i even bother?"

Fall asleep, wake up feeling like crap because ive lost the spark of motivation for that new site, and end up trashing 48 hours' worth of work (which is usually around 10,000 words of highly researched well written content). Than i loop and do it all again the next day.

I used to get it all the time and i was finaly able to escape it by just going with the flow. But these HCU updates got me in a tizzy

I noticed whenever I give little attetnion to the site (more careless), it start to rank, but whenever I start overthinking and spending my fullt iem on it it tanks)

Yep, been there mate!

From my observations the latest HCU targeted exact matches and replaced (or trying too) them intention based responses. (kgr, paa style titles mostly gone)

Google is turning in to ChatGPT.

I can control my adhd hyperfocus windows at will, which means i can get a crazy amount of stuff done quickly. But the double-edged sword is i can't just be more careless when hyperfocused. I have to "get it right". Usually, the only thing that brings me out of these windows is my blood sugar crashing and making me sick because i was so busy i forgot to eat

Yeah its like your supposed to write personal blog style these days, But at the same time it doesn't always make sense to do so. And when you go and look at whats actualy ranking around the results are really inconsistent right now. Just adding to the loop of despair and overthinking!

You need more black hat. There's too little black hat and you feel tired of that. Normal stuff.

Don't fall for emotions. Just get it done and always look for ways to work smarter.
