Quick system to bounce back after every break

</aside>

1. Trigger the Ritual

• Stand, stretch, sip water.
• Sit down, open your workspace.
• Say out loud: “Back in the race.”

2. Micro-Task Ramp

• Do something <2 minutes:
  • Open the doc.
  • Rename a file.
  • Jot one bullet point.
• Success = momentum, not completion.

3. Timer & Frame

• Set a 10–25 min timer.
• Tell yourself: “This is just the warm-up lap.”
• Goal = restart, not perfection.

🛠 Mindset Anchors

• Pit Stop Frame: Breaks fuel you, but the race is back on.
• If–Then Plan: If I end a break, then I launch my ritual + micro-task.
• Identity Cue: I’m the type who bounces back quick.

🚫 Guardrails

• No extra stimulants. Tomorrow’s fuel is untouchable.
