The Three-Line Stress Log

Keep it for one week. Thirty seconds an entry. The point is not to analyse in the moment - it is to have something honest to read back on Sunday.

  1. Each time pressure rises, write three things: what happened, how you felt, what you did.

  2. Thirty seconds. No analysis, no judgment, no editing.

  3. At the end of the week, read the entries in one sitting.

  4. Look for one repeating situation, one returning feeling, and one response you want to change.
