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

• I forget to mark whether I actually did the thing, so days slip by unlogged and I only notice gaps later from memory
• I start these tracking habits full of intention and then they fall apart within a week
• The little stuff — email, messages, quick admin pings — keeps chopping my day into fragments, so I never get one clean stretch to sink into the real work before the next ding pulls me out again.
• Every habit I try to keep daily I set too big
• I’m trying to juggle a whole stack of daily habits and treat them all as equally important, so the moment a day gets hard I drop everything
