Fan the Flames
Follow your fire has been a slogan of mine for many years now. I might be looking to switch to fan the flames. My fire is there... somewhere... sadly, by the time I can get around to the projects that I am passionate about... my energy is gone — completely gone. I have enough mental energy to push a few things off my to-do list, but not enough to dig into my big vision projects.
Have I become so productive that I'm passionless? A few years ago, I switched a big part of my efforts and focus to being more organized and more productive... which I now am. I am doing more than ever with more ease than ever. However, the deep hunger and drive to work long and crazy hours is nowhere to be found... which makes me question if I killed my passion.
I have a few friends that seem to run on the fumes of slumber... and do so well. I once had that ability and drive; and now, I want it back. It's time for me to fan the flames and build a fire worth following once again.

"doing more than ever with more ease than ever" I think that's probably part of the problem. Interesting challenges are what build excitement, not repetition of routine. You're working on the same things, reading variations of the same themes. While the things that you do seem magical to me, they're routine to you. It seems like you need a challenge on a personal level. We should get together and do something out of your comfort zone.
