Yeah I know exactly what you're talking about.
You want to work on something, you know you need to work on it, and yet when you try to do it you can't get anything done or you get lost doing something else completely ignoring the fact that you need to work on it.
And that's when you start to get disappointed at yourself for not doing the thing you know you should be doing.
And yes, that is definitely true, coming back from a longer break usually lead to faster and bigger improvements to whatever you're working on.
Thanks for taking the time to read the post and commenting.
