Clear one square
Move everything except the task in front of you. Leave one small object—such as clear quartz or fluorite—as a visual marker for the reset.
Name the next action
Write one verb-led step that can be completed in twenty minutes. Close unrelated tabs and place your phone outside reach.
Finish with a cue
When the timer ends, return the object to its usual place. Repeating the same physical cue can make transitions feel more deliberate.
