Worry Parking Lot
Write down what is circling, decide for each worry whether you can act on it right now, and leave with every one either parked or paired with one small step. Takes five to ten minutes. Nothing you type is saved.

Worry Parking Lot
Externalize your worries to free up mental space.
How it works: Write down what's worrying you, then decide if you can act on it right now. If not, park it and check on it later. Getting worries out of your head helps you focus on what matters.
