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

• I reflect every night and have all these insights about what I’d do differently, but nothing ever actually changes
• I make these big all-or-nothing resolutions, slip up once in February, decide I’ve blown it, and quit the whole thing
• I keep tripping over the same thing day after day but only ever see each one as a one-off
• I do these honest reviews of my day and then nothing actually changes tomorrow
• There’s no point where I actually put the screen down for the night
