HOW IT WORKS
Dump the dread
Type the thing you keep not-starting. Rant welcome. Nobody's grading it.
It shrinks to 2 minutes
AI turns "write the report" into "open the doc, write one bad sentence — on purpose." A first action too small to dodge.
The drift carries you
Misprinted digits pull into register as the clock runs. At 0:00 you've started — and momentum does the rest.

THE SCIENCE (LIGHTLY CITED, HEAVILY USED)
You're not lazy. You're mood-repairing.
Mood repair
Procrastination is avoiding a feeling, not a task. Shrink the feeling and the task follows. (Sirois & Pychyl, 2013)
If-then plans
A concrete first action with a trigger doubles your odds of doing it. Every ticket ships with one. (Gollwitzer, 1999)
Momentum
Open tasks tug at the brain until touched — then the tug pulls forward. Two minutes flips the direction. (Ovsiankina effect)
THE SCIENCE
Procrastination is mood repair — you avoid the feeling, not the task (Sirois & Pychyl). If-then plans double follow-through (Gollwitzer). And started tasks pull you forward instead of tugging you down (Ovsiankina). Two minutes flips all three switches.
