1. Rename the Frame  
   Take one “hard” task and rewrite it as a question in a different dimension: Change “How far until X?” to “How long until X?” Solve the second version first. If clarity appears instantly, you weren’t stuck… you were misframing.

2. Draft the Wrong Answer   
   Write one deliberate wrong guess about a decision or idea. Then write why it felt reasonable. You’re mapping assumptions, not confessing error.

3. Say the Unfinished Sentence   
   Pick one place you go silent. Use a prepared opener once today: “I’m not sure, but here’s a draft.” Watch how feedback replaces fear.

4. Delete a Grain of Sand  
   Identify one tiny friction that delays action… an unclear first step, a missing file, a vague note. Remove it in five minutes. Start for two minutes immediately.

5. Set the Loss Limit  
   Before a risky choice, answer: “How many failures can I afford?” Put a number on it. If you can’t, you’re gambling, not deciding.

6. Swap the Villain for a Constraint  
   Reframe a conflict as a coordination problem, not a character flaw. Name the constraint that makes good behavior hard… and adjust it.

7. Add a Calibration Clause  
   Take a strong belief and append: “This might be wrong if…” Then find one counterexample today. Precision beats confidence.

8. Leave Breadcrumbs for Tomorrow  
   End the day by saving one unfinished artifact (a sentence, sketch, or question) where you’ll see it first. Momentum loves continuity.
