Get unstuck routine: 6 steps, start to finish

For a task you keep putting off: write the smallest first step, set a five-minute timer, and do it. In Unmiss, the "Get unstuck" routine has 6 steps. In the library it begins at 9:00 AM with "Name the task you're avoiding" and ends with "Choose the next tiny step" at 9:25 AM.

The steps

1. 9:00 AM Name the task you're avoiding
2. 9:05 AM Write the smallest first step
3. 9:10 AM Gather only what you need
4. 9:15 AM Set a 5-minute timer
5. 9:20 AM Do the first step
6. 9:25 AM Choose the next tiny step

These are the library's suggested times, starting at 9:00 AM, with weekdays as its suggested days. Change any step or time to fit your own.

How to use it in Unmiss

1. Open Routines, tap +, and choose "Get unstuck" from the library.
2. It opens with these steps and times. Change anything you like, then save it.
3. Open the routine and tap Start. Unmiss shows one step at a time, and a step is done when you say it is.
4. A routine you haven't scheduled never starts by itself. With a subscription you can also give it days of its own.
