Course Outline

Course 1: The Sunday Reality Check

• The Problem: The "Sunday Scaries" and the habit of checking emails to "get ahead" (which actually drains recovery time).
• The Insight: Distinguishing between the "Anxious Team" (External culture) and the "Anxious Self" (Internal perfectionism).
• The Strategy: The "Draft & Schedule" Rule—how to handle the urge to work while maintaining professional boundaries.
• The Tool: The "Should I Worry?" Checklist (A mental filter to stop the checking loop).

Course 2: The Friday Shutdown

• The Problem: Leaving work with "Open Loops" creates weekend anxiety.
• The Insight: Strategies must fit the role. Office workers need to "Park the Car" (Save Point), while On-Call workers need to "Pass the Baton" (Relay).
• The Strategy:
  • For Office: Creating a private "Save Point" for your future self.
  • For On-Call: Using the "Hybrid Method" (Audio Context + Text Facts) to ensure smooth continuity.
• The Tool: The "Parking Ticket" (Office) & The "Baton Pass" (On-Call) Templates.

Course 3: The "Emergency Only" Pact

• The Problem: "Uncertainty" causes stress. Not knowing if a notification is trivial or critical makes you check everything.
• The Insight: You don't need complex systems; you need a simple channel distinction. "Text = Later; Call = Now."
• The Strategy: Establishing the "Call Me Rule" to silence digital noise while remaining accessible for true emergencies.
• The Tool: The Weekend Wallpaper (A visual lock-screen reminder to stop impulsive checking).

Course 4: The Monday Morning Head-Start

• The Problem: Starting the week in "Apology Mode," drowning in emails, and feeling behind by noon.
• The Insight: Silence creates uncertainty. Early signals create the "Halo Effect" of control.
• The Strategy: The "3-Sentence Update"—stating your presence and priority immediately to buy focus time.
• The Tool: The "I'm Back" Script (A copy-paste update for Teams/ LINE / WhatsApp).
