I noticed at age 33ish my energy for all this stuff dropped off. Life just got more complex and my body became less resilient.

If you require a deadline to do something I'd wonder if you don't want to do it that badly. Which is okay, for things like work or even the last 20% of a hobby project. But reading.. I try to make that only for enjoyment.

I find more things I do which require will power or a deadline, the more I'm dipping into a finite resource which when expired leads to burnout.
