Receipt Log

One entry a day, for seven days. The same four questions. One closing sentence. Print this page each day, or save it as a PDF.

A receipt is: the alarm went off. You did not do the old escape move. And the catastrophe your brain predicted did not happen — or was much smaller than advertised.

My situation type this week: Pick one kind of situation and keep it all week. Speaking in a meeting. Sending an email without rereading it five times. Saying no to a small request. Bringing up a mild disagreement.

Date

1. What was happening (one sentence)

2. What did your brain say would go wrong?

3. What small move did you make instead of running away?

4. What actually happened? How bad was it? (0 = totally fine, 10 = catastrophe)

Intensity:

Closing sentence Today my forecast said ___, and what actually happened was ___.
