Something feels harder than it should.
Too much lives in your head.
You are the primary database. Decisions, context, and operational history depend on your personal memory instead of shared systems.
Workarounds have become normal.
What started as a temporary shortcut is now 'the way we do things.' Extra steps feel invisible because you perform them on autopilot.
Follow-up slips.
Opportunities and details fall through the cracks not from a lack of care, but from friction overloading your attention.
Information is scattered.
Notes in messaging apps, tasks in notebooks, files in email threads. Finding what you need requires mental tracing.
