Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’m efficient now, blowing through my list every day, but I’ve started to feel hollow about it
- I open my laptop, fall straight into email and Slack, and by the end of the day I’ve been busy nonstop but the one thing that actually mattered never got touched
- The moment the lights go out my brain starts running tomorrow’s to-do list on a loop
- I answer the last email at 11:58 and then expect to be asleep by midnight, and instead I lie there still buzzing in work-mode
- Every time I try to get organized I try to overhaul everything at once, and a week later the whole thing has collapsed because it was too much to keep up
