The Start Button

12-card deck. 4-page PDF, plus 13 phone lock screens.

For when you know exactly what to do and can't make yourself do it.

Twelve cards. Each one's a single physical move that gets a stuck body going in ninety seconds or less. You don't pick a card, you pick a symptom, and the key tells you which one. There's nothing to set up and nothing to keep up.

Twelve cards, one move each, with a "use when" line and why it works
The key: symptom on the left, card number on the right
Thirteen phone lock screens, because the card you need is the one you can see
"Read This Whenever", the page written for the day you find it in a drawer

Call Me

23-page prompt pack. PDF, plus a plain text file.

For when you need something to check on you and there's nobody to ask.

Fifteen lines you can call when you can't start. One paste each. Tick, Start Coach, The Decider, Unstick The Email, Low Battery, Shutdown, and nine more. Works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot, free tiers included. Nothing to install, and no account with us.

The house rules. Paste once at the top of a chat and everything after it sounds different
Fifteen lines, one page each, with what comes back and how to turn it when the answer's wrong
The switchboard, so you don't have to pick the line yourself
The standing call: three scheduled check-ins set up in one paste, free in ChatGPT
Call-Me-prompts.txt, because copy-pasting out of a PDF is its own small hell

The List Is Lying

6-page printable. Letter size.

For the list with fourteen items where every one arrives at the same volume.

The Three Pile System on paper. Bring one list, sort it once into Hot, Warm and Cold, then touch the work. It won't organize your whole life. It'll make the next decision honest.

The three piles with real boundaries. Hot maxes out at three, and if a fourth enters, one leaves
Why volume isn't consequence, and why re-deciding is the part that's actually expensive
The sort sheet, with a line for the next physical move: open, send, ask, call, draft, schedule
Permission for the Cold pile to rot, which is the part most people came for

Dumpster Fire Reset

5-page printable. Letter size.

For the workday that was already sideways by nine in the morning.

Ten minutes, five moves, for the afternoon when every task is screaming. Kill the incoming noise, pick the one consequence, make it ugly enough to ship, park the rest, touch the work. It's workload triage, not crisis care, and it says so on page one.

Five moves with fill-in lines, so the decision leaves your head and lands on paper
"When to pull it" and "not for" right on the front page
The minimum safe version, so you ship something instead of polishing nothing
The park list: three things in Warm, everything else Cold until a date you pick

Before you buy

How do I get the file?

Checkout runs on Payhip. The download link is on the receipt screen and in the receipt email, as soon as the payment goes through.

Do I need an account?

No. Not with Payhip and not with us. An email address for the receipt is the only thing checkout asks for.

Will it work on my phone?

Every tool is a PDF, so yes. The Start Button also ships as thirteen phone lock screens, and Call Me comes with a plain text file for copy-pasting.

What if it doesn’t help?

Reply to the receipt and say so.

Is this the book?

No. These are four standalone tools. The book is a separate thing, and the PDF of it is listed at the bottom of this page.

Not ready to buy? Take one card free.

The Start Button is twelve cards, one physical move each, for the ninety seconds before a task starts. You don’t pick a card. You pick a symptom.

Four of the twelve are here. The other eight, the key, and the print sheet are in the deck.

Stage It

Don’t do the task. Put out everything the task needs, then walk away. Pan on the stove. Laundry basket by the machine. Form open, card next to it.

Use when the task lives in another room, or needs stuff you’d have to go get.

Why it works

Your brain refuses tasks. It doesn’t refuse setups. Once the task is staged, most people find they’re already doing it.

The Start Button, card 01 of 12.
