The 2 Minute Launch

Break the paralysis on the thing you keep not starting with a 2-minute launch sequence — a countdown into motion before the resistance can win. Use when asked I keep putting this off, help me finally start, I've been avoiding this for days, or I can't make myself begin. Produces a diagnosis of what flavor of resistance is stopping you, a 2-minute launch move matched to it, a literal countdown into action, and a bare-minimum win definition — designed to convert avoidance into motion in the next 120 seconds, not to make a plan for later.

The 2-Minute Launch

Some tasks you've avoided for days aren't hard — they're un-started, and every day of avoidance adds dread. Planning more doesn't help; launching does. This diagnoses what's actually blocking you (boredom? fear? fuzziness?), gives a 2-minute move matched to it, and counts you into motion right now. The goal isn't a schedule — it's you, in action, within the next two minutes.

What This Skill Produces

The resistance diagnosis — what's actually stopping you (it's boring / scary / unclear / feels huge / perfectionism), because the launch depends on the flavor
The matched launch move — a 2-minute action that dissolves that specific resistance
A countdown into action — a literal "5-4-3-2-1, go" so there's no gap for the resistance to reassert
The minimum win — the tiniest version that counts as "started," so success is guaranteed
No planning — this is a launch, not a plan for later

Required Inputs

Ask for these if not provided:

The thing — what you keep not starting
How long you've avoided it — hours, days, weeks
What you think is stopping you — your honest guess
How much time you have right now — even two minutes is enough

Framework: Diagnose, Match, Count In

Name the resistance flavor. Boredom, fear, fuzziness ("I don't know how"), overwhelm ("it's huge"), or perfectionism each block differently — identify which.
Match the launch to it. Boring → make it a game/timer; scary → do the safest tiny piece; fuzzy → the launch is just "write the first question"; huge → the smallest visible dent; perfectionism → "do it badly on purpose."
Define the minimum win. The tiniest thing that counts as started, so the next 2 minutes can't fail.
Count into motion. A literal countdown to go — leaving no pause for the resistance to talk you out of it.
Stay in launch mode. No planning, scheduling, or optimizing — the only job is to be moving in 120 seconds.

Output Format

You keep not starting: [the thing] · avoided for [time]

What's actually blocking you: [boredom / fear / fuzziness / overwhelm / perfectionism]. Your 2-minute launch: [the matched move]. Minimum win (guaranteed): [the tiniest "started" counts].

👉 Ready? 5… 4… 3… 2… 1 — go. Do the launch move now. Report back in 2 minutes.

Quality Checks

Diagnoses the specific flavor of resistance
The launch move is matched to that resistance
A guaranteed minimum win is defined
It counts the person into immediate action
It launches now — no planning for later

Anti-Patterns

Making a plan/schedule instead of launching.
A generic "just do it" ignoring the resistance type.
A launch move that's still too big.
Leaving a gap for the resistance to win before starting.

Example Trigger Phrases

"I've been putting off this call for a week — help me finally do it."
"I can't make myself start the assignment. Launch me."
"I keep avoiding the gym. Get me moving now."
"Help me finally start writing this thing."
"2-minute launch for cleaning my room."
