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

• Every week I hit the same walls and learn nothing
• Every week just bleeds into the next with no pause to take stock
• I walk into Monday blind and then keep getting blindsided mid-week
• My weeks get hijacked by whatever lands in my inbox first thing Monday, and by Friday I’ve just been reacting the whole time
• A study session feels smooth and productive and I walk away sure I’ve got it, then a week later it’s gone
