The Growth Gate

Green light through the forge — one priority, not a to-do avalanche. Morning or weekly planning threshold.

The opening ritual for the Mindset & Growth Kit. Run it before the daily growth journal, weekly reflection, quarterly planner, or 30-day habit tracker — one priority, not a to-do avalanche.

Step I — Still the scatter Three breaths. On each exhale, name one thing that does not belong in this planning session (news, someone else's urgency, yesterday's regret).
Step II — Single priority Open a template from the Mindset kit — daily journal or weekly reflection. Answer only: What is the one thing the forge needs from me this week? Write it as one sentence at the top of the page.
Step III — One non-negotiable habit Mark one row on the 30-day habit tracker — the smallest chain you will keep even on a bad day. Begin the session.

On the same day each week, open the kit's quarterly planner after this ritual. When the session ends, run The Closing Seal on the monthly review page.
