I now feel low-energy (low-absorbency is a second descriptor) on work projects. However, at the same time I often feel high-absorbency on workout (or diet), QQ (or coding drill), parenting,,,

Aha… These other absorbency domains are arguably more strategic, so the situation as described is actually better than the “average” situation which features an absence of absorbency on any front whatsoever!

Is it possible to have high-absorbency on all fronts? Unlikely. Therefore, recognize your priorities, embrace the imperfect self, and celebrate the improved-imperfection.

Everyday is imperfect anyway.
