Ithaca My sense is that you need to work more on your proprioception.
Ithaca, thank you for your thoughtful answer. The thing is, my proprioception is, and has always been, very weak. Some days are worse than other days, but every single day I bump into things.
Ithaca Animisha, I've been puzzled by the fact that you never see improvement after a decent night of sleep. Perhaps it's something to do with aging, but I'm beginning to wonder if maybe part of the problem is that you're trying to learn too much - make overly large leaps both figuratively and literally - in one go.
I used to have very good memory. My friends all knew, I could recount whole conversations verbatim.
Then a lot of time passed, I got a burn out, I recovered, I got my next burn out, I did not recover, and then I started to learn to play the piano. Somewhere in this process, my memory deteriorated. It is sad, but what to do. It is what it is.

No. I progress so slowly that I refuse to tell anybody when I bought my piano. When I try to learn a piece that is too difficult for me (happens very rarely), I drop it, even though it is hard.
