Clear + Tough Love

Summary

You have clarity and urgency. Internal motivation is mixed with resistance, so a small structured push helps you start decisively.

What This Mode Means

You know what to do and can do it, but part of you is avoiding it. This mode benefits from a firm, structured nudge to convert awareness into action.

Recommended Actions

• Pick one forced action and begin in 3 minutes.
• Use a timer or countdown to trigger movement.
• Focus on execution rather than reflection.
• Follow the smallest actionable step, then continue from there.

Common Pitfalls

• Negotiating with yourself instead of starting immediately.
• Overthinking the task or process.
• Skipping the push step because it “feels too hard.”
• Letting resistance linger and multiply.

Micro-Reset if You Stall

Use a 1-minute countdown. At zero, start one tangible action—just opening a file or writing a line is enough.

When to Stop for Today

Stop after completing the first forced action and evaluating momentum. The goal is breaking inertia, not completing everything at once.
