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

• When I look back on my day it’s just a checklist of what I did, and it tells me nothing
• Some parts of my day leave me feeling alive and like myself and others leave me weirdly drained and small, and I usually just push past both
• 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 just blur past on autopilot and I crawl into bed having never paused to ask where I was at my best today and where I drifted from who I want to be
