Use case
Task paralysis — the 60-second fix
Task paralysis isn't laziness. It's your brain refusing to commit until it can see the whole path. Shrink the first step until it can't say no.
Why you're frozen
The current 'first task' is too big — usually it's actually 4 tasks pretending to be one. Your brain knows. It refuses.
The 60-second method
Open KeyX. Say the one thing you're stuck on. KeyX returns a version so small it's almost embarrassing — 'open the laptop', 'open the file', 'read the first sentence'. Do that. Momentum handles the rest.
FAQ
- What if I'm still stuck after the small box?
- Shrink it again. There's always a smaller version. 'Open laptop' becomes 'sit at desk'.
