Being awake and aware of what's looming makes it hard to concentrate or get much done.
I agree, the first few months of this year I was the most productive and motivated I have ever been in my life and achieved so much.
However, the last month and a half has been like living in quicksand, so much to be done but little motivation and every small task seems to take forever and so much goes wrong.
Trying hard to pull myself out of this as it's weighing on me, on top of increasing impatience that so many are still soundly sleeping!
