You can use it as-is or adapt it for your own voice. We’ve all been there. Staring at a blank screen. A half-finished project. A decision you know you need to make but keep circling around. It’s not laziness. It’s not a lack of talent. It’s a block.

Not because they’re brilliant, but because speaking forces linear thinking.
