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

• I’m trying to improve at five different moves at once and progress on every one of them is crawling
• The skill I’m trying to learn feels like one giant overwhelming blob
• I keep trying to do the whole complicated thing all at once and there are just too many moving parts to track at the same time
• I’m doing twelve things at a passable level and none of them well, and I’m starting to think the answer isn’t to try harder across all of them but to do far fewer and actually be good at those.
• I've got five big things going at once and I bounce anxiously between all of them, so none of them ever really gathers momentum
