Focus
I used to be able to focus on things. Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I swear I can remember a time when I could read a book for two hours or write until I forgot how long I had been writing or stay in one place for an afternoon without difficulty. Now, I barely have the attention span to sit through an entire movie. I can't get myself to see any one task through to completion, leaving me with nothing but beginnings and frustrations. I'm not sure what's behind it, but it's clearly something I need to work on. Maybe I just haven't found something about which I feel passionately. Maybe I've simply grown dispassionate. Either way, it's going to be a long winter if I don't get my groove back.
