Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- It went well so I assumed I did everything right and moved on
- A handed-off task wraps up and we just move on to the next thing
- Every time something goes sideways we replay it looking for who dropped the ball, and the wins we never examine at all
- I finish a session and just move on without ever sitting down to name what actually worked and what didn’t
- When I ask myself “how did that go?” my mind just hands me the single best or worst moment and calls it done
