This is from another game but I feel that it is a good read for anyone who does a lot of deep role playing. You'll need to think of it in terms a Sindome context but most of it applies here as well. I know I've fallen prey to this many times.
The level of dedication that Sindome requires for long-term goals tends to lean into this sort of thinking. I'm led to believe that if you just focus on having fun rather than making big things happen you'll have a better time.
