Sitting Down and Nothing Happens

Work out what is happening in the gap between sitting down and starting.

Purpose: Work out what is happening in the gap between sitting down and starting.

When to use: Use this when you are at the desk, ready, and still cannot begin.

Worksheet prompts

  1. You are sitting there. What is going through your head right now?
  2. Which of these is closest to what is stopping you?
  3. Given what you ticked, what is one thing that would make starting easier?
    Ask someone, lower the bar, get water, change rooms.

Being stuck is information, not a verdict on you. Start by naming which kind it is.
