Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ve looked honestly at my life and now I want to fix all of it at once
- I want to fix so much about my life at once
- I always launch a "new me" with five or six changes at once, spread myself paper-thin across all of them, and within two weeks every single one has quietly collapsed because none got enough of me to stick.
- There are a dozen things I want to fix and I have no idea which one to start with
- I’m chasing a dozen things I want to change all at once, so my effort gets spread paper-thin and everything stalls half-finished
