→ WEEKLY PLACEMENT — Pattern Correction: “Planning is My Drug”
Pattern: You keep “preparing” because it feels like progress. Cost: Nothing ships. Self-trust erodes. Your week becomes admin theatre. ■ This week’s correction (non-negotiable): 1 Proof Block, 1 Output, 1 Post. You do not optimise. You do not make a new plan. You produce proof. → The Protocol (20 minutes) 1. Name the avoided output. Pick ONE thing you’ve been circling (email, invoice, application, outreach, draft, edit, booking, upload). 2. Set a 20-minute timer. Work only on the output. No research tabs. No “just checking.” No re-planning. 3. Ship a version. “Done” is defined as: sent / submitted / published / booked / uploaded / delivered. If it can’t be shipped in 20 minutes, you ship the next smallest shippable slice (e.g., outline sent, first draft uploaded, booking link created). ■ Proof Rules (WTM standard) - No emotional dumping. - No explanation paragraphs. - No “I feel” without “I did.” ✅ What to post (comment format): PROOF: - Output shipped: - Timestamp (your local time): - Link / screenshot note (if applicable): - Next micro-step (optional, max 1 line): ■ Failure state If you don’t post proof within 24 hours, you didn’t do the protocol. No compensating with insight. Re-run it the next day.
