One page. That's the whole thing.

The 5-Switch Scan

A one-page tool for the moment a task won't start. Five questions, one switch to flip, a ten-minute timer. Print it and keep it above the desk.

The tool

Five switches

Before forcing a task, ask which one is easiest to add right now.

1
InterestLink it to something you actually care about.
2
NoveltyChange the context — new room, new playlist, fresh page.
3
ChallengeMake it a game. Race the clock. Add a constraint.
4
UrgencyBuild a real near deadline instead of waiting for panic.
5
ConnectionDo it with someone. Their presence is the fuel.
Add one. Set a ten-minute timer. You're not committing to finish — only to begin.

Why this one page exists

Most productivity advice assumes an importance-based brain — one that can act on something simply because it matters. Some brains don’t work that way. They run on interest, and five specific conditions reliably switch them on.

That’s not a character flaw or a motivation problem. It’s a description of how the dopamine system assigns priority, and once you know the rules you can flip the switches deliberately instead of waiting for them.

This page is the shortest possible version of that idea. It’s free, and it stays free.
