Back to the page

Back to the page. You were working, and you drifted. A tab, a thought, the phone. It happens many times an hour for most people. This is the way back.

Eyes up, off the screen. Look at something across the room.

One long breath out.

Say, in your head, what you were doing before you drifted. One short line.

Now say the next small step. Not the whole task. The next line, the next number.

Eyes back to the page. Begin with that step.
