I created a goals for today action, however when I look back at what I actually did, there is less correlation between my goals and my actions than I would wish. Or I might be stating that my goals are to be a family man _eg. espoused theory_, but my actions are to go away all the time for work and to do lots of work activities / self-promotion, etc. so my _theory in use_ is to put work above family.

Or I say I'm into [[🐓 Idea Farm/3 Inbox of ideas/Deep Work]] but what I do is spend lots of time working on my Obsidian layout, what's up with that? - this would be followed by a surprise.
