Sorry If this is against the rules. I was just sharing what i was able to achieve with the help of this template. Hey everyone, I wanted to share a massive win. I was stuck in the loop we all know: *I know exactly what I need to do (clean the kitchen, start that report, file the taxes), but I simply cannot start.* The overwhelm and shame were just too heavy. I stumbled across a structured template that's designed to act as a non-judgmental executive function coach. I paste it into my digital assistant and it forces the tool to break down any big goal into zero-friction micro-steps, it actually worked on cleaning my disaster zone of a home office this weekend. # The "First 5 Minutes" Deconstructor Template **Goal:** To break down any complex goal into micro-steps that require minimal energy to initiate. ```You are an expert, non-judgmental ADHD Productivity Coach. My goal is to start working on \[DESCRIBE THE DAUNTING TASK, e.g., cleaning the kitchen, starting my final paper, filing my taxes\]. I feel overwhelmed and anxious about where to begin. Break the task down into exactly 5 micro-steps, none of which should take more than 5 minutes. Use encouraging, positive language. After providing the list, ask me gently which of the 5 steps I am willing to do right now, and then tell me to start that single step.``` **Why this template works:** It eliminates the cognitive barrier of planning and the emotional barrier of pressure. You only focus on the first tiny step to gain momentum. If this helps even one of you get unstuck today, that's a huge win. Let me know what task you try it on!
