Pick one thing that will make today feel like a win. Write it down.
Now choose the first visible action that starts it (open the file, set out the shoes, place the book on the table, send the first email). Do that one action immediately. No warming up.
Then protect a 15-minute window for the anchor later today. When your mind scatters, return to one sentence: “My next right thing is the anchor.”
Small focus creates a calm day.
