Having one of those weeks where I have no motivation to advance or work hard. Being a reasonably paid payroll clerk seems like a much better career choice than a high-flying, well paid consultant.

OP - are you on a federal project? What level - I wonder if it's easier to coast at more junior levels <manager or not?

Not Federal project, and I am sub-manager but that's part of the issue. I want to get promoted but just feel overwhelmed at the amount of groundwork and people I have to convince in order to get my promotion.

This is why, as a firm, we can't have nice things.
