Staying on Track

Long, multi-step work fails three ways: looping, over-thinking, and running out of context. Run the checklist below before each step. When a trigger fires, do the matching action — don't deliberate about it.

Before each step — run this

Check	Trigger fires when...	Do this
Looping?	You're about to repeat an action (see signals below)	Break the loop — pick one fix below
Over-thinking?	You've reasoned past ~1000 words without acting	Stop. Act on your current best decision, or ask the user one question
Context tight?	A low-context reminder appeared, or 2+ budget signals hold	Finish this step, then hand off

If nothing fires, take the step.

A step is a loop if any of these is true:
