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

• The moment a week gets busy I drop the workout, the reading, the good habits entirely
• In my head it’s a full hour at the gym or nothing at all, so on busy or drained days it’s always nothing
• I get excited and try to overhaul everything at once
• I go all-out for a few days and then crash, and the first time I’m tired or busy the whole thing falls apart
• I dive into Monday with no sense of what the week is actually for, so I end up chasing whatever shouts loudest each day and the two or three things that would make the week a real success never get a protected slot.
