The Stall Log

You don’t track writing — you track stalling. Every day there’s a small box: what you did instead, how long it took, what the avoidance was protecting you from. After ten days the patterns become so loud you stop being able to ignore them. After ninety you have a working theory of your own avoidance you can fix.
