How to use it right now
- Write down everything you're responsible for this week: jobs, appointments, worries, other people's problems.
- Next to each one, write: mine, shared, or not mine.
- Choose one thing to hand to someone else, move to next week, or stop doing. Just one is enough to feel lighter.
