Worksheet prompts
- Name the piles. What is waiting for you right now?
Be blunt. Nobody else is reading this. - How much does looking at it weigh on you?
- Pick the one pile that would change the most if it shrank. Which, and why that one?
- What is a five minute piece of it? Name exactly what you would touch first.
One load. One shelf. The cups only.
A house that got away from you is a common thing, not a verdict.
