Your Kind of Stuck: You're Too Tired
Your battery is low, so even small things feel huge.
Your tasks stall because you're running on empty. When energy is low, everything costs more, and pushing harder usually makes the next day worse.
On these days the goal is a step that needs almost no energy, or simply deciding when you'll do it.
Things to try
- Pick a step you could do lying down, like finding the phone number.
- Deciding when you'll do it counts as progress.
- Look at what's draining you this week and drop one thing.
