I’m regressing in chess big time. I’m like worse than average. What happened?
One thing that happened is that instead of doing the things that helped me improve, I stopped doing all of it in favor of doing things that I KNOW aren’t good (exs. playing when tired, or playing short-time games). Why do I do this with chess? Or exercise? Or diet?
It’s so frustrating to do things, see results, and then…just stop. Why do I do that?
I wonder if part of it is that I am sabotaging my progress. Even if it’s not that, intellectually, changing inertia is more challenging than going with the flow. Why am I always insisting on starting, restarting, and restarting the same things?
