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
- On a calm Sunday I’m completely sure I’ll follow through this week, but I know by Wednesday afternoon, when the urge hits, that resolve will evaporate
- The same stale tasks roll over from yesterday to today to tomorrow without me ever asking whether they still matter
- I do these honest reviews of my day and then nothing actually changes tomorrow
- I lie awake at night with tomorrow’s undone work circling in my head, and then I start each morning cold, burning my best focus just deciding where to begin instead of already knowing.
