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

• That big thing just wrapped up and didn’t land how I wanted, and I can already feel myself rushing on to the next thing
• When I go back to think about how something went, all I’ve got left is a vague mood about it
• I set out what I wanted to get done and then never look back at it
• I reflect on my day and feel all these feelings about it, and then tomorrow plays out exactly the same
• By the time night comes my whole day has blurred into one undifferentiated "fine" or "rough," and I couldn’t actually tell you what happened in it
