Who This Book Is For
If traditional planners end up abandoned, tasks feel heavier than they should, and overwhelm shuts everything down, this workbook was made for you.
- Starting is hard even when you want to do the task
- Time blindness makes plans feel slippery
- Working memory drops steps in the middle of doing them
- Big projects turn into shutdown because the start feels fuzzy
- Overwhelm wipes out momentum fast
- Clutter and unfinished tasks feel mentally loud
- Criticism or emotional overload can derail the day
- You can hyperfocus hard, then crash just as hard

Dopamine Menu
Use fast regulation tools when starting feels hard.
