When I finish a day in an oddly positive, pleased-feeling and go-getting mood I often notice the next morning that the mood has disappeared to be replaced with my more customary reticence and cautiousness. Hopefully there'll still be a little bit of achievement floating about tomorrow morning to build on. Being properly-sleeped will help, hence the relative shortness of this.

Of course, one advantage of a tendency for keenness to reduce over time is that excessive keenness can be detrimental; when unnaturally enthused I sometimes find myself doing despicable things like almost speaking over the top of people and butting-in, though as I get more used to encountering rare instances of speaking to people about subjects about which I am enthusiastic I shall hopefully become better at spotting this before it happens. A good way of achieving this during a meeting in which one is participating appears to be to be the person recording the minutes in the absence of the appointed secretary.
