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

• I move on to the next thing but half my brain stays snagged on the last one I left unfinished, so I’m never fully on what’s in front of me
• Every time I tidily finish a chunk and then walk away, coming back the next day feels like staring at a blank page again and I have to fight my way back in
• The moment I finish moving I’m up and onto the next thing
• A big change is coming and I’m so focused on what’s next that I’m treating the last weeks of this chapter as a waiting room
• I end every workday staring at the list of everything still undone, so I log off feeling behind and carry the unfinished tasks home in my head
