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

• My everyday life — the dishes, the walk, the commute — passes in a fog while my mind is somewhere else entirely, and I want to actually be here for the plain, mundane moments instead of sleepwalking through them waiting for the parts that supposedly matter.
• I can be calm on the cushion and then completely lose it the moment real life starts
• Whatever I touch in my morning sit completely evaporates the second real life starts, and the calm stays locked in "meditation time"
• I do the same everyday things
• My ordinary days just blur past
