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

• There’s a specific ordered list of steps I need to be able to rattle off on demand, and I always drop one or scramble the order
• I have a list of things I need to recall in a precise order
• I get going on something with a lot of steps and then stall out partway because the next move is fuzzy, and every time I sit down I have to figure out where I even was before I can do anything.
• The order this goes in feels so natural I’ve never once questioned it, and I want to know what opens up if I just flip the whole thing
• My list is just a flat wall of tasks that all look equally urgent, so I keep grabbing whatever’s easiest instead of whatever matters
