How was it then?
I didn’t realize that “my life had become unmanageable”. I thought I managed things fairly well. But once the curtain was drawn back, I could see the unmanageability clearly.
One very prominent example is how I thought of time. I basically thought it didn’t apply to me. I would set completely unrealistic goals for myself and my colleagues in terms of time, and then be surprised when the deadline swooshed past. Things always took longer than I thought.
I would also let myself get sucked into projects deeply, losing all sense of time, staying up well past a reasonable time for sleeping, and then wonder why I felt tired all the time.

How is it now?
I still have to keep a careful eye on this part of my character. I can slip into “time blindness” very easily. Having my food in place helps to keep the curtains pulled back, but having a realistic understanding of how time works is honestly very hard for me.
