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

  • I keep meaning to step back and take stock, but reflection always loses to whatever’s urgent
  • I’ll do this big thorough reflection once, feel great about it, and then not do it again for three weeks
  • I’ve got weeks of logged data piling up and I never actually look at it
  • I reflect every night and have all these insights about what I’d do differently, but nothing ever actually changes
  • I start these tracking habits full of intention and then they fall apart within a week
