Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I reflect on my day and feel all these feelings about it, and then tomorrow plays out exactly the same
- I’ll do this big thorough reflection once, feel great about it, and then not do it again for three weeks
- I keep meaning to step back and take stock, but reflection always loses to whatever’s urgent
- I lie down at night and the whole day reads as one undifferentiated blur of busy, and I genuinely can’t point to a single moment in it that felt like it counted for anything.
- My default setting is to evaluate myself constantly
