Tips for getting started

  • Make the task tiny. "Open the document and write one sentence" is easier to start than "write the report".
  • Try Quick start on hard days. 15 minutes feels doable. If you're in the flow when it ends, keep going.
  • Take the break for real. Stand up, stretch, get water or look outside. Scrolling your phone often makes it harder to come back.
  • Use sound if it helps. Some people focus better with steady background noise. Others need quiet. Try both.
  • Be kind to yourself. If your mind wanders, that's normal. Notice it and come back. Every round counts.
