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

• I try to power through a four-hour stretch of work in one go and the back half is garbage I end up redoing
• I push flat-out all day with no real breaks, treating rest like something I have to earn after the work is done
• I grind straight through with no built-in recovery, treating rest as the reward I’ll earn once everything’s done
• I work in long unbroken marathons until I’m fried, convinced that more hours equals more progress
• I’ve done the same circuit, same moves, same pace for months, and it just feels easy now
