“No one can see what I actually do all day”
See what this thought is changing.
Five quick questions show how often it appears, how believable it feels, and what it makes you avoid. You’ll get one private next step.

PRESENT
Present in the background
“No one can see what I actually do all day” wins some small decisions before you catch it. Your useful interruption is: “Unblocking people is part of what I do, even if it looks quiet from the outside.”
ACTIVE

Begin with one reversible receipt: On a blank note, list three things you did today that helped work move without ending up as a final artifact. Put the note face down on your desk for tomorrow morning.
