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

• I have this huge dream I care about deeply, but it just hovers out there as a wish
• My big dream inspires me but today’s tiny task feels pointless and disconnected from it, so I keep skipping the small stuff
• I want so many things at once — fitter, calmer, more money, a better relationship — that it all blurs into a vague "be better" and I never get traction on any of it.
• I’m doing all the things on the list and they feel strangely pointless
• I’ve got this inspiring goal I actually want
