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

• Each single day of effort feels like a drop in the bucket and disappears, so I only ever feel the size of how far I still have to go
• I want to change something big about my life, but every small step I could take today feels so trivial it’s almost laughable
• I’m grinding away on this long project and it feels like I’m getting nowhere, even though I know things technically moved today
• The whole thing feels so big I can’t even start
• I keep waiting for a free afternoon to finally dig into the big project, and that block never comes
