As a remote-working parent I've experinced this a lot over the last few years. The highs don't happen so often, but I noticed when they do, I work at a higher pace, but tend to make mistakes.

For me the key has been to notice I was on a high and make sure to double-check the work done.

P.S. I'm sharing helpful resources and insightful thoughts about being a remote-working parent in my weekly newsletter - welcome - https://thursdaydigest.com/

P.P.S. Loved this quote below:

‘‘They also reveal that the level of motivation does not only impact decision-making but also the perception of sensory information, which leads to the decision’’, explains Carl Petersen, Full Professor at the Brain Mind Institute of EPFL and co-senior author in the study.
