progression

Why is it that my days so often follow the same path as this one.? I wake up feeling expectant and calm. But as the day goes by I feel something wearing me down, gears revolving more slowly, as I find it increasingly difficult to maintain any kind of energy or focus. It is not that I feel physically tired. Rather, my mind gets tired; I become inert.

So the trick is to accomplish something in the morning. Today in early afternoon I tried to work on the proofs my editor sent me of my piano preludes, and I just could not make any progress at all. I will try again in the morning.
