Transition Cues — Card Deck

Starting a task and stopping one are two of the hardest bits when your executive function is stretched. These are small cards with a script for each of those edges.

Sixteen of them to print and cut. Some examples: a start ritual (same playlist, timer for fifteen, tell one person you’re starting); a stop ritual (write “next step” and one line, stand up, drink water); what to do when you can’t start (do the ten-minute version, or just open the file and read the last line); coming back after a break (re-read your note, don’t re-plan). There are cards for the end of the work day, for before an appointment, for a rejection spike, for a low-energy day, and a couple of blanks.

What you get: a 3-page PDF. Print single-sided on card and cut along the lines. It also comes with the Groundwork System bundle.
