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

• I do the thing and feel nothing
• Even after I technically finish something, my mind keeps circling back to check on it like it's not really done, and I think it's because I never paused to actually register the win
• I don’t believe I’m someone who follows through, and every small thing I do complete just slips by without counting
• I’m grinding away on this long project and it feels like I’m getting nowhere, even though I know things technically moved today
• I keep grinding toward goals and the second I hit one
