Getting Started

Understand Your Current State

Before making changes, you need to see where the friction actually lives. Most people underestimate how much time and energy they lose in transitions.

• Track your transitions for 2-3 days (when you switch tasks, how long it takes, how it feels)
• Notice patterns: Which transitions are smooth? Which feel difficult?
• Identify your biggest transition pain points

Choose Your Starting Point

Don't try to fix everything at once. Pick one specific transition type that causes you the most friction.

• Ending tasks: Do you struggle to close things properly?
• Mental clearing: Do previous tasks stick in your mind?
• Starting fresh: Do you find it hard to engage with the next thing?

Focus on this one area for at least two weeks before expanding.

Design Your First Ritual

A transition ritual is a short, repeatable sequence that signals to your brain "we're moving to something new." Start simple.

• Keep it under 30 seconds initially
• Make it physical as well as mental (posture change, breath work, etc.)
• Attach it to an existing cue (closing laptop, standing up, etc.)
• Test and refine based on what actually works for you

Practice Consistently

Transition practices only work if they become automatic. Commit to consistent practice for at least 2-3 weeks.

• Use the same ritual every time for your chosen transition type
• Track completion (simple checkbox works fine)
• Notice small improvements before expecting dramatic changes
• Adjust if something feels forced or unnatural

Expand Gradually

Once your first ritual feels automatic, you can add more. Build a personal transition architecture that covers different types of shifts.

• Add rituals for other transition types
• Experiment with longer, more elaborate practices for bigger transitions
• Consider team or organizational protocols if you work with others
