Cataloging music

I was in a life coaching session a couple weeks ago with Errol Carrim, and he said that some things we do are energy positive (we gain energy doing them), and somethings are energy negative (we lose energy doing them).  I'd never thought about this

I've been writing a lot of music over the past year, but I don't get a lot of it past the "sketching idea" phase.  I gain energy by coming up with ideas and working with them, and it becomes work when I try to finish the project. 

I'd been spending time cataloging music instead of writing it, and that's a negative energy project.  I come away from it feeling drained.  I hadn't written any music at all.  Errol suggested that I balance work that drains energy with some work that gathers it.  I've tried that, and I'm feeling a lot less exhausted and drained.  Yipee!  I'm also applying the idea to my computer programming work, and it's helping there too.

It's helpful to realize that feeling exhausted and drained is not the same as being lazy
