Single vs multi placing - feel bad going back to singles (darn neuro spicy brain!)

Ok, so for the first 5ish years I did single placing and enjoyed it (I am good at getting straight squares.) it’s the journey not the destination, right? Then I tried multi placing and disliked it, I could never get it straight. Decided that was a skill I needed to work on (in a positive way) and forced myself to do it to get better. I did get much better with practice, moved from 3 to 7 eventually. I’m not great but much much better.

But it’s sooo much faster and satisfying to finish to do a new DP (hellooo ADHD) when I use the multiplayer to get through blocks of colors (or even 3-7 drills next to one another, when it’s not an actual block of color if that makes sense?). So now I almost feel bad (that’s not the exact feeling but the closest I can articulate at the moment) when I go back to single placing an entire DP bc I know I can get it pretty darn square. My brain is stuck on it takes longer to place 5 drills individually than 5 in a placer so the overall DP takes longer to do. But placing drills straight is so satisfying!!

Can y’all help me to reframe my brain’s thinking about single placing feeling wrong? please and thank you in advance!!
