best habits

Setting a 15‑min daily "shutdown" alarm to end work. Protects evenings, stops rumination, rebuilt sleep and energy. Small, brutal, effective.

Metric: Tiny-win count — log every 5‑min progress action (reply, tidy, draft). Track: tap a phone counter or check a box; aim for 5+ wins/day.

Daily 2-min 'terrible idea' ritual: I loudly pitch the worst idea I can imagine. It dissolves fear, sparks creativity, and makes work fun again.

Tiny habit: every night pick one exact, tiny first step for tomorrow and stick it on your phone or desk. Cuts overwhelm, makes momentum inevitable.
