Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- Every time I pick one thing I ache about all the paths I’m closing off, and I keep half-committing to leave my options open
- I never actually stop to look back at how the week went before barreling into the next, so the same drift quietly compounds week after week
- If you asked me where my week actually went I’d just guess
- I’m chasing a dozen things I want to change all at once, so my effort gets spread paper-thin and everything stalls half-finished
- I’ve got a dozen things half-started and keep adding more, telling myself I’m working on all of them, but nothing ever actually gets finished and the backlog just quietly drains me.
