September 14th - Use Mel's 5 Second Rule
Sep 14, 2025
Struggling to switch tasks? You might just need a launch button.
That’s where Mel Robbins’ 5 Second Rule comes in. Here’s how it works:
1. When you know you need to take action, count down: 5–4–3–2–1… GO.
2. PHYSICALLY MOVE. Close the tab, stand up, pick up the phone, open the document.
It’s a mini launch sequence that cuts off hesitation and gets your body moving before your brain talks you out of it.
Task switching feels tough because your brain resists leaving the comfort zone. The 5 Second Rule helps you break that resistance and step into motion fast.
What’s one thing you could launch yourself into with a 5–4–3–2–1 today?
