Ingrained somewhere in my DNA is the ability to focus 100% of my mind and energy into getting things done.  It doesn’t matter the activity.  Music, sports, cooking, work, etc.  What I lack is the ability to coast through some of this stuff and save some energy for things that I would like to do instead of for things that I have to do.  For some reason I don’t have the ability to be only 75% cognisant of what I am doing or what is going on around me.  For me it’s all, or nothing.  There is no cruise control, no auto pilot.  Some days it’s a great ability to have.  Other days, not so much…  It’s a double edge sword and I try to take to good with the bad, but this week it’s killing me!  Oh well, one more day and I get a chance to recuperate again.  The good thing about that is I’ll be focusing 100% of my energy into resting!
