@academicwriter I suggest that you look into improving your sleep hygiene, and also visit a doctor for a routine checkup with bloodwork, where you specifically ask about fatigue and concentration issues.

I have struggled with the symptoms you mention, and discovered three health issues overlapping to interfere with my writing: low blood iron, poor sleep hygiene, and mild ADD.

There are great suggestions and regimen to improve your sleeping habits, just google sleep hygiene. For the other two you’ll need a doctor’s help, but maybe not a prescription: it may be possible to improve your energy levels and concentration through supplements; I use iron pills, multivitamins, and ginseng to bring my energy and focus back.

I would never have expected such simple things to change my experience of the world, but they have, and I hope your solutions will be simple, too. Good luck!

Use some opera as background music or any kind of music with a story. If it’s in a language you don’t understand, even better.

I like no. 11 very much. Learn a new word a day is what I do everyday. Just open up the dictionary and you get yourself more words than you can learn in your whole life.

If you can’t figure out the lead to your piece, start in the middle and go back to the beginning later. This has prevented much writer’s block for me.
