Open the scary thing

Just open it and read it. Deciding comes later.

Tiny version

Open it. Read it once. Write the deadline on the front.

Start a 5-min timer

Good for

  • Unopened letters
  • An email you’re avoiding
  • A bill you’re worried about

Why it helps

Avoidance makes the imagined problem grow. Reading it usually shrinks it, and splitting “read” from “act” makes opening it possible.

The full version

  1. Set a 5-minute timer.

  2. Open it and read it once. No action needed yet.

  3. Write the deadline and the one next step on it.

  4. Put the step in your inbox or calendar.
