How to apply Screen Rules Playbook

1. Define a this-week goal that fits your real schedule.
2. List 3 constraints (time/energy/people).
3. Choose the smallest daily action (≤10 min).
4. Schedule it (day/time/trigger).
5. Review next week—keep/cut/change one step.

How & Why It Works

• Clear limits and expectations increase safety and predictability in relationships.
• Implementation intentions pre-bind cue→action, reducing choice paralysis and drop‑off.

Results & Goals

• Fewer arguments; faster repair after conflicts.
• More consistent follow‑through on small commitments.
• Visible progress that rebuilds mutual trust and respect.
