Some days the Demons get you. This turned out to be one of them days. I woke up just past midnight and didn’t get back to sleep till after 4, which only afforded me another hour of sleep. I thought that, on that empty brain, I could get work done. I have tried all day, but the mind is not where it should be. I’m drained and distracted and completely unaware of how to put myself back on track.
The real key is sleep and let this day go. I don’t really know that there is too much I need to complete today that cannot be handled in the morning. I will try to get a little more handled before I’m through, but actual writing is out of the question. I just don’t have it in me, as you can see here.
The lesson to learn from this is to always have low hanging fruit available. Do the hard stuff when you’re at peak, because it requires your peak. This way when you are feeling less than, you can easily pivot to the lighter work that doesn’t require full attention. I’m doing that with light grading and some paperwork. It is all I have in me.
