From overwhelmed to one golden task

When everything is a priority, nothing is. The fastest way out of overwhelm is to shrink the day.

The one-task rule

Ask: if I only finished one thing today, what would make it a win? That's your golden task.

Everything else is optional

Other tasks still exist — they're just not load-bearing. Finishing the golden task means the day already worked.

Build the streak

String golden tasks together and you get a streak — proof that you're becoming the kind of person who follows through.
