Two‑minute decision loop
2 minutes- Write one sentence that defines success.
- List two or three options.
- Pick a reversible option and set a review time.
Outcome: Avoids overthinking and moves work forward.
Mechanism: Short time boxes force a good‑enough choice now; picking a reversible option lowers risk so you keep momentum.
Name it to tame it (30 seconds)
30 seconds- Notice the emotion in one word.
- Say quietly: 'I feel …'.
- Let the label lower the intensity by about 10 percent.
Outcome: Lower reactivity; more choice.
Mechanism: Putting a word to a feeling quiets the brain's alarm system, so the feeling feels smaller and you can choose better.
What to measure
- time to decision
- reversal rate
