How to use this
Between something landing on you and you responding to it, there is a gap. It is very short. Most of the time you don't know it's there, so you go straight from the event to the reaction and it feels like one movement. This app exists to make the gap visible. Nothing more.
Within the hour if you can. Not at the end of the day. By then you've already tidied it up into a story about what happened, and the story is not the thing we're after.
"Frustrated, two minutes" is an observation. "I shouldn't have let that get to me" is a verdict. Verdicts feel like progress and aren't. Write what was there, how long it stayed, and leave it alone.
You are not trying to react better this week. You are only trying to notice that a gap exists. The noticing is the work. Everything else comes later and comes on its own.
The two lines at the bottom of each day
The cost. Something you carried, absorbed or covered for, and never said out loud.
The drift. Somewhere you went along with something without deciding to. Nothing set it off. You just went with it.
Two entries a day is plenty. Some days you'll get one. A blank day is information too — it usually means the day went past without you in it.
End of the week
Bring this to the session. Don't tidy it up first.
