How to use it

Start in the minute you decide, even at 12:37. If you keep pushing it back, decide out loud: "I'm doing it now" or "I'm not doing it today". No third option.

How sure we are

E Evidence: built from practice. What works for coaches and practitioners. Labelled that way.

P Evidence: promising. Good studies, but small or few. Use it and keep checking.
