Growth

Set a time to stop

WhenWhen you begin a work session.

Choose a realistic end time before you begin. Set a reminder, and finish the session at that boundary rather than extending it by default.

Why it works

A place to stop is part of a workable route.

Start tiny

Choose the end time for one session.

What you’ll notice

The session has a boundary you chose.

When it slips

If the time was unrealistic, adjust the next session; avoid treating the limit as a challenge to beat.
