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

  • I lie down at night and the whole day reads as one undifferentiated blur of busy, and I genuinely can’t point to a single moment in it that felt like it counted for anything.
  • By the time night comes my whole day has blurred into one undifferentiated "fine" or "rough," and I couldn’t actually tell you what happened in it
  • My days blur into "another morning, another Tuesday" and I move through them on autopilot, never really seeing the particular light or mood of this exact day
  • My days blur past and I can barely remember them
  • I feel busy from the moment I wake up to the moment I crash, but if you asked me where the hours actually went I genuinely couldn’t tell you
