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

• My progress lives buried in some spreadsheet I never open, so day to day I genuinely have no idea whether I’m winning or losing on this goal
• Each single day of effort feels like a drop in the bucket and disappears, so I only ever feel the size of how far I still have to go
• I’m doing all the work but I keep staring at the scale (or the bank balance) that barely budges, and every time it stalls I feel like a failure even though I showed up
• I keep staring at the number on the scale and it barely moves for weeks, so I either get crushed or give up
• I’m grinding away on this long project and it feels like I’m getting nowhere, even though I know things technically moved today
