Write One

Write just 1 thing on paper that seems worth doing now. It does not have to be the best thing, and it can even be a nap.

Do It

Do it, and when you finish, cross it out with a line.

⚡ TRY IT
One line at a time
( blank paper ) 🧺 Fold the laundry 💧 Drink a glass of water 😴 Take a nap 📚 Read 2 pages 🧹 Clean the desk 📧 Reply to 1 email 👟 Walk for 5 minutes 🪴 Water the plant
(A nap is OK too!)
✔ Crossed out: 0
Only 1 line. Write, do, cross out, repeat.
✨ Nice. Now write the next one.
🍃 3 done. Does your head feel clear?
🎉 5 lines! One at a time is enough.
Once More

Then, write 1 more thing.

Clear Head

When there is only 1 thing to do, your head feels clear.
