Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m always making plans with myself and breaking them, and somewhere along the way I stopped trusting my own word
- I say "I’ll send that over" or "I’ll get to it" and then a bunch of those little things quietly slip my mind
- I keep waffling and breaking my own little promises to myself, so there’s no track record to point to
- My private intentions are too easy to quietly let slide because no one would ever know
- I’m competent and I deliver, but people still hold me at arm’s length
