Pause Before: Sleep on It

Buying, sending, committing, or quitting? Set the decision aside for ten minutes or overnight, then return when the first impulse has cooled.

You do not have to decide right now.

Pause Before gives an impulsive decision a quiet place to rest, then brings it back when you have had time to think.

Something you want late at night. A message you are about to send while upset. A commitment you feel pressured to accept. Something you want to quit on a difficult day.

Choose ten minutes, one hour, overnight, 24 hours, three days, or a week. When the pause ends, compare your original reason with how you feel now.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Capture what you are about to decide
2. Choose a cooling-off period
3. Receive an optional local reminder
4. Proceed, let it go, or give it more time
