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

  • I never actually stop to look back at how the week went before barreling into the next, so the same drift quietly compounds week after week
  • Week after week the same important things don’t get done and I just keep rolling them forward, never stopping to ask what actually kept eating the time
  • Every week just bleeds into the next with no pause to take stock
  • I keep meaning to step back and take stock, but reflection always loses to whatever’s urgent
  • I’ve got weeks of logged data piling up and I never actually look at it
