Original Advice
“DO: Brain-dump worries into a list before bed.”
Empty Your Nightmind On Paper
Your brain doesn’t want sleep. It wants a courtroom. At midnight it drags every unfinished task to the stand and cross-examines you until dawn. You call it vigilance. It’s self-sabotage dressed as competence. Stop trying to win a trial you invented. Confess everything to a page. List every loose thread, dumb fear, petty obligation. Name the ghosts so they stop rearranging your furniture.
Turning worries into ink forces them to take a number. Paper creates sequence, and sequence calms your nervous system more than heroics. A list is not a shrine; it’s a holding cell. You assign dates, strike duplicates, mark what can die. When your mind wakes to rattle the bars, point to the page. The guard is on duty. You, off the clock.
