Today was going to be a highly productive day. Vacation day from work. Spend the whole day getting ahead of school work for my master’s program.
Instead, I slept in late, took Betsy to the doctor, ate lunch, sat and looked at the same couple of pages for an hour before taking another nap. Woke up when the kids got home from school and set then to work on their chores (dishes, lawn, etc.), then sat back down to the computer to stare again.
The same sense of brain dull all day long. Lack of focus. Sense of sinus. More rest doesn’t seem to help.
I have burned the midnight oil and beyond recently to keep up with projects, and it seems the brain finally objects. It works more and more to produce less and less. Yet the demands do not change — they keep on requiring more.
An outside perspective would probably see things differently. Find a lot of wasted effort here and there. Find unnecessary activity. minor amusements.
What does it take to be and stay focused? At the moment I don’t seem to have it.

Probably was a very necessary time to get refocused and refreshed.
