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

• I have a big goal but no idea what to actually do about it this week, so my days fill up with whatever lands in front of me and the goal just sits there, never broken down into anything I can pick up today.
• I’ve got this big goal way out there but no idea what I’m supposed to actually do this week to get closer, so it just sits there as a someday thing and I never move on it.
• I have this huge dream I care about deeply, but it just hovers out there as a wish
• My big dream inspires me but today’s tiny task feels pointless and disconnected from it, so I keep skipping the small stuff
• Another week just vanished and the few things I actually meant to do never happened
