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

• My days have all blurred into one long flat stretch where I’m sure nothing makes any difference
• I can see exactly which days I slip but I have no idea why some days I follow through and others I don’t
• Looking back, every day just feels like it was uniformly awful from start to finish
• If you asked me where my week actually went I’d just guess
• I’ve got weeks of tracking data and all I do is feel good or bad about the score
