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

• I bounce around to a different café or gym every time, always chasing somewhere new, and I never become a familiar face anywhere
• My whole week funnels me past the exact same faces
• I eat lunch at my desk alone most days and let weeks slip by without really seeing anyone, telling myself I’m too busy
• 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 in these huge intense bursts a couple times a week and feel productive, but it never sticks or becomes second nature
