Stop staring at the finish line like it’s a predatory animal and start carving a path through the static. This breakdown kills the 'where do I even start?' paralysis by locking in three high-stakes milestones that force your brain into gear. You aren't just planning; you're building a roadmap with enough unearned authority to make your executive dysfunction back down and let you actually finish.
