HOW THE CARD IS ORGANIZED

Reduce the decision, not the emotion

1

Now: orient

Notice the present environment and create a brief pause.

2

Next: choose

Take one action that fits the context and available time.

3

Later: review

Decide whether to return, communicate, rest, or seek more support.
