Didn’t blog last night, mostly due to encroaching tiredness from all the cycling – I think…
However I fought off the indolent tendencies, got back on this morning and after breezing in I feel… tired.
I’m sure the Labsters do too. In fact it was there in the singing work this morning. Although the sound is getting better, and the group are able to learn new harmonies ever more fluently, the “recovery time” has gone up. With choirs this is a failure of self discipline among the group, and often a sign of tiredness. It puts noise in the system and exhausts everyone else who are similarly battling with the work whilst trying to manage their own energies. The only answer is a resolute focus. It’s true that we get tired as the work progresses, and worse still, just as it is coming to culmination we are reaching the point where we’ve spent most of our best energy. What’s needed now is what Arsene Wenger calls “Mental toughness”. That ability to discipline oneself ever more meticulously so that the task stays on track. It effectively makes the work easier to do because you don’t allow a slip in your own energy to distract yourself.
Everyone has come up with a theory about how their film might be. This week that theory has been put to the test, in the heat of continuous workshop development. That’s where the success will be. In the assiduous pursuit of letting the audience have a good insight into the possible film.
Keep fighting the tiredness guys, and stay focused!
