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

  • I check the same feeds dozens of times a day, mostly out of reflex, and 90% of the time there’s nothing there
  • My work only pays off way down the line
  • I’ve been "working on it" for weeks but honestly couldn’t tell you if I’m closer or just spinning
  • The results are still nowhere in sight so I can’t tell if I’m actually doing the work or just busy, and I keep letting myself off the hook
  • It all makes perfect sense while I’m reading it, so I assume I’ve got it

Practices that may help

  1. The Relationship Check-In: A Structured Practice for Staying Connected
    A relationship check-in is a structured, scheduled conversation — usually weekly — where partners deliberately assess how they are doing as a couple: what’s working, what’s building up, and what each person needs. The practice is widely used in couples therapy and coaching, with a strong mechanistic rationale; direct RCT evidence for the structured check-in format specifically is limited.
  2. Designate 2-3 scheduled checking windows per day
    Check social and news feeds only during specific time-boxed windows — not on demand.
