Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- When I ask myself “how did that go?” my mind just hands me the single best or worst moment and calls it done
- A handed-off task wraps up and we just move on to the next thing
- In these conversations I fire off question after question like an interrogation, and the other person closes up rather than opening
- I get through a hard thing and then just move on without ever clocking that I handled it, so it never seems to make the next one any easier
- I finish a session and just move on without ever sitting down to name what actually worked and what didn’t
