How to use it

For every outrage in the feed, ask: can I act on it? If yes, act once (donate, vote, help, build), then close it. If no, don't marinate. Your attention belongs to your work.

How sure we are

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

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