Priority Paralysis Protocol
Priority paralysis protocol picks one starter task via deadline tie-breakers or body doubles when every item feels urgent and nothing moves.
A priority paralysis protocol breaks when every task feels equally urgent—use a two-minute forced pick, deadline tie-breaker, or body double to start one item while the list stays frozen. Limit options to three candidates; more choices deepen freeze.
Done beats optimal order for executive function recovery.
Common questions
