What are the first two minutes of the thing I keep avoiding?
A two-minute way into the task you’ve been circling, then the next two, and nothing more.
Pack 7 prompts 2 to 10 min each
Seven kinds of stuck.
Can’t start, can’t choose, can’t stop worrying: one prompt for each.
Stuck isn’t one problem, so this pack has a different way out for each kind. Pick the one that matches today: a task you can’t start, a list where everything is urgent, a choice with no good option, a worry on a loop or a skill that stopped improving.

Focus 5 min Everything is urgent. What’s actually on fire?
Every urgent item tested against what happens if it waits, plus a note for whoever has to wait.

One pick from your shortlist, the reasons behind it, and the fact that would flip the answer.

Decide 5 min Both options feel wrong. What’s the third one?
Your either-or decision restated as a wider question, plus four options you hadn’t put on the table.
-
Mind and body 10 min Is this worry a problem to solve or a thought to put down?
One worry split into what you can act on this week and what you can only set aside, with a step for each.
-
Learn 10 min Why have I stopped getting better at this?
The likely reason you’ve leveled off, and two weeks of practice built to get you moving again.
-
