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

• By the time I notice I’ve been running on edge all day, it’s already too late
• We keep meaning to have one big sit-down to sort everything out, so it never happens
• I run on autopilot from morning till I crash at night, and if you stopped me midday and asked how I’m feeling I’d genuinely have no idea
• My partner and I both have some quiet inner read on how close we actually feel lately, but neither of us ever says the number out loud
• I’m hitting every productivity target and somehow feeling emptier by the week

Practices that may help

1. The Relationship Check-In: A Structured Practice for Staying Connected
   A relationship check-in is a structured, scheduled conversation — usually weekly — where partners deliberately assess how they are doing as a couple: what’s working, what’s building up, and what each person needs. The practice is widely used in couples therapy and coaching, with a strong mechanistic rationale; direct RCT evidence for the structured check-in format specifically is limited.
2. Begin the day with a brief Self-check
   Each morning, scan which parts are up and reconnect with Self before the day pulls you into reactivity.

3. Keep check-ins short — consistency beats comprehensiveness
   A 20-minute check-in every week beats a 3-hour one every quarter.

6. Include a happiness question — not as an outcome goal but as a signal
   Add "Did I do my best to be happy today?" to the list — not as a target, but as a daily quality-of-life sensor.

7. Use the wheel as a relationship check-in, not just a solo exercise
   Sharing your wheel with a partner, coach, or trusted friend turns a self-assessment into a conversation and a commitment.
