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

• I measure myself purely by the scoreboard
• I keep hitting my targets and checking the boxes, and it keeps leaving me weirdly hollow
• I finally hit the thing I’d been grinding toward and the satisfaction lasted about an hour before I was already onto the next target
• My progress lives buried in some spreadsheet I never open, so day to day I genuinely have no idea whether I’m winning or losing on this goal
• When I finish the task there’s no signal that I did anything
