Time audits...I do these, I know my chronotype and what times are best suited for what tasks, and yet if I schedule it in too strictly, despite well-considered NSDR (non-sleep deep recovery) breaks, it only works for a week at best, and then massive resistance and I have to change things up. Would love to know if anyone knows how to manage this kind of problem. Re: epiphanies, glad for the caution at the end. I think looking for answers is helpful and may or may not lead to an epiphany, but seeking them for their own sake seems like a good way of setting yourself up for reward prediction error.
