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

• I go all-in for a week in these huge bursts, then crash and disappear for a month, and every restart from cold is brutal
• I go all-out for a few days and then crash, and the first time I’m tired or busy the whole thing falls apart
• I go all-out for two intense weeks, judge the whole thing by whether I hit a personal best, then burn out and quit entirely
• I push flat-out all day with no real breaks, treating rest like something I have to earn after the work is done
• I go all-out in these huge intense bursts a couple times a week and feel productive, but it never sticks or becomes second nature
