Behaviour by Ownership

Subconscious drift can scatter your day — unless you force ownership through two chosen acts.

Ownership Executive Function

Metaphorical Narrative

The mind drifts like a boat without anchor — every gust pushes you somewhere new. Tasks pile, dread grows, the drift accelerates.

Then you grab the wheel. You point to two shores only. Everything else goes into the water.

Core Insight

Subconscious drift thrives on infinite options. Ownership means slicing it down to two. EF takes command when it’s forced into clarity.

Saturday Experiment

  1. Each morning: choose 2 tasks only. Put them in the calendar.
  2. Bin the rest.
  3. When drift appears, repeat: “Back to the two.”

Sunday Reflection

  • Did they feel relief or fear when binning the rest?
  • How did the day shift when only two shores were possible?
  • Did ownership feel like power or pressure?
