the-2-minute-launch
Break the paralysis on the thing you keep not starting with a 2-minute launch sequence — a countdown into motion before the resistance can win. Use when asked I keep putting this off, help me finally start, I've been avoiding this for days, or I can't make myself begin. Produces a diagnosis of what flavor of resistance is stopping you, a 2-minute launch move matched to it, a literal countdown into action, and a bare-minimum win definition — designed to convert avoidance into motion in the next 120 seconds, not to make a plan for later.

# The 2-Minute Launch Some tasks you've avoided for days aren't hard — they're *un-started*, and every day of avoidance adds dread. Planning more doesn't help; launching does. This diagnoses what's actually blocking you (boredom? fear? fuzziness?), gives a 2-minute move matched to it, and counts you into motion right now. The goal isn't a schedule — it's you, in action, within the next two minutes. ## What This Skill Produces - **The resistance diagnosis** — what's actually stopping you (it's boring / scary / unclear / feels huge / perfectionism), because the launch depends on the flavor - **The matched launch move** — a 2-minute action that dissolves *that specific* resistance - **A countdown into action** — a literal "5-4-3-2-1, go" so there's no gap for the resistance to reassert - **The minimum win** — the tiniest version that counts as "started," so success is guaranteed - **No planning** — this is a launch, not a plan for later ## Required Inputs Ask for these if not provided: - **The thing** — what you keep not starting - **How long you've avoided it** — hours, days, weeks - **What you think is stopping you** — your honest guess - **How much time you have right now** — even
