Original Advice
“DO: Schedule worry time; write it down, then close.”
Give Anxiety Office Hours
Here is the part you avoid: your worry loves free time more than you do. It squats in your head, rummages through memories, keeps the lights on at 2 a.m. You've been letting it. Stop. Put it on the calendar like trash day. Show up, sit down, write every fear. When the timer rings, close the book. Do not bargain. Lock the door.
Fear hates containers. Deadlines drain it of theater. Writing turns vapor into ink, and ink can be capped. Your Moon-driven tides need walls to crash against, or they flood the kitchen. Timeboxing is not cold; it's warm boundaries. You choose the hour. You choose the pen. You choose the stop. The ritual trains your brain: worry has a window. Life gets the rest.
Cosmic Context
