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

• Whenever my week gets crazy the first thing I axe is my one-on-ones, and I keep telling myself we’ll catch up later
• I dive into Monday with no sense of what the week is actually for, so I end up chasing whatever shouts loudest each day and the two or three things that would make the week a real success never get a protected slot.
• I’m efficient and on top of my tasks, but I’ve lost the thread of why any of it matters
• Another week just vanished and the few things I actually meant to do never happened
• The moment a week gets busy I drop the workout, the reading, the good habits entirely
