Find the first step · S10.8

Turn a mental block into a specific question

You know you are stuck but cannot yet say what is missing.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Complete the sentence 'I cannot continue until I know...' with the smallest missing detail you can identify.
2. Check whether you need information, a decision, a resource, or permission from someone.
3. Write the exact question or next step that could resolve that gap.

An example

I cannot finish the form until I know which date they need. I can ask the organizer.

Reflect

Did the specific question explain the block better than a label about your ability?

Next time

If the answer creates another gap, identify that one separately.
