Why Days Fall Apart
Too many open loops compete for attention. A rescue plan for the entire day is often one more overwhelming task.
Step 1: Empty Your Head Onto Paper
Set a two-minute timer and write down every task or worry without organizing it.
Step 2: Choose One Next Step
Pick one small action you can finish in a few minutes. The goal is momentum, not fixing the entire list.
Step 3: Do It, Then Reassess
Finish the action, then choose the next single step. A few small completions can restore clarity.
