I feel like I’ve spent the last week or so half-assing everything. Both at work and at home I’ve started countless tasks but finished almost none.

Not entirely sure what’s gotten me. Some opportunistic bug that’s left me feeling run-down, but not quite enough to call myself “sick”? An insufficiency of sleep? Too damn little sunlight this time of year? Not enough fibre (which is apparently the solution to everything this year)???

Ron Swanson, from Parks & Rec, posits that you should 'Never half-ass two things. Whole-ass one thing.'

Whatever it is, my body and brain wish I were hibernating, and are making known their displeasure at my having to do useful things like wrangle children and code. Thinking’s a little bit like wading through treacle.

Wake me when it’s spring. Meanwhile, I’ve picked out two tasks that, if I can complete today, will at least make me feel like I’ve achieved something this week. Let’s see how we get on.

    Big mood. I’ve been blaming the weather and the sunlight. I’m wishing you luck on your missions!§
