Realizing that there are times when I'm too tired to work on music, and that I should rest and not let it bother me.

It's weird, but I feel like I should be able to work on music whenever I get an idea, but I've been noticing that when I'm tired I just can't execute those ideas.

Seems like common sense when I write it out but my brain works in a way where I *think* I can do things but I really can't because I'm exhausted. When I try I get frustrated and should just rest instead.

@icefoxx Maybe there's a way to record some of the ideas to work up later, equivalent to thumbnail sketches - like recording 1-3 bars of stuff, and keeping it as a library.

@Leucrotta I do that sometimes, but a lot of the time it’s more about mixing and mastering and I’m just too tired to listen as critically as I need to. It ends up sounding like noise if I’m tired so I just need to put it down.
