Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I reflect every night and have all these insights about what I’d do differently, but nothing ever actually changes
- I’ll do this big thorough reflection once, feel great about it, and then not do it again for three weeks
- When I look at how I actually behaved today I can only ever do one of two things
- I keep meaning to step back and take stock, but reflection always loses to whatever’s urgent
- Whenever I review my own day I quietly spin everything to make myself look better, and I know it
