Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m stuck on a real decision and lost in the noise of it, and I want to step back and ask how the version of me at the very end of life would see this
- I’m burning myself up over how I’ll be seen and remembered for this, and then I think of all the people who once seemed enormous and untouchable and are now completely forgotten
- I’m burning my days on this grudge, this inbox, this thing that wound me up
- I look at the big shape of my life
- I keep telling myself family comes first, but when I actually look at where my hours went this week it’s almost all work
