• I end every workday staring at the list of everything still undone, so I log off feeling behind and carry the unfinished tasks home in my head
• Every night I close the day by grading myself on what I got done and what I dropped, and it leaves a sour taste
• I reflect on my day and feel all these feelings about it, and then tomorrow plays out exactly the same
• By the time night comes my whole day has blurred into one undifferentiated "fine" or "rough," and I couldn’t actually tell you what happened in it
• I set out what I wanted to get done and then never look back at it
