Rewrite the resume summary for the fintech PM role
Done when: summary rewritten and the application sent
What you'd see when you come back. Illustrative example.
When emotion is high, decisions should be slow. Separate the facts from the stories you add to them, then take one step you can finish tonight.
From the book: Chapter 13, Decision-Making and Clear Thinking.
Before you start, take the one-minute reset if the search feels heavy.
Fact: they didn't reply. Story: I'm not good enough. Work from the fact.
One block, one application. Write what you sent and what comes next.
“Clarity begins when facts are separated from fear.”
Resistance is your brain protecting its energy, not a flaw in you. Tap “Start smaller” and the task becomes one step you can finish in 15 minutes, with a clear line for when you're done.
Open to the next step you saved. If your mind is loud, take the one-minute reset.
Phone out of reach, tabs closed, notifications off.
Too big to start? Start smaller: a 15-minute first step, ready in a tap.
One thing and a calm timer. Wander, notice, come back.
Write where you stopped. Then take a real break.
For a career move, something to show means applications sent, a mock interview done, a resume section rewritten. You keep a dated list of it, so a slow month still shows how far you came.
