Two commitments. Make them before the day gets away from you, then mark them done — don't wait to feel ready first.
The message, ask, or pushback you're most avoiding today. Send it before 10am — avoidance compounds across the day.
Write your position before the meeting, in one sentence. Reading it beforehand makes you far more likely to actually say it live.
Caught in a spiral over a decision, a message, or a meeting replay? Give it 10 minutes — no more. When the timer ends, you act, send, or close the tab. Rumination past this point isn't adding information.
One card, surfaced at random. Read it, do it today, pull the next one tomorrow.
Small phrase swaps. Not about being nicer to yourself — about not pre-apologizing for taking up space.
