Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• The finish line for this goal is three months out and it feels so far away that none of my weeks feel like they matter
• An open-ended "do this forever" instantly overwhelms me, but tell me it’s a thirty-day thing with a clear finish line and I’ll dig in
• I keep telling myself I’ll begin on the first of the month or some clean Monday, and it never quite arrives
• I’ve decided to finally do this and I want to begin on a day that feels like a real line in the sand
• I mean to pause and let a finished task land, but the instant it’s done I’m already onto the next thing and the moment is gone
