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

- 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
