The Return Plan
The break is rarely the problem. Getting back is. This one-pager helps you return in a few minutes.
Before you leave (30 seconds)
- Write one line: "Next I will ___."
- Leave the work open where you can see it.
When you come back
- Read your one line. Do not read everything else yet.
- Do the smallest piece of it. Two to five minutes.
- Check how your body is. Hungry, tired, wired? Fix the easy one first: water, food, a short walk, a slow breath out.
- Pick one of two: keep going for ten more minutes, or choose a different small task. Either counts as returning.
If the day already slipped
Pick a new starting time, write it down, and treat it as a fresh start. A late start is still a start.
