How worry time works

It doesn’t ask you to stop worrying. It helps you choose when.

Worry postponement is a technique from cognitive behavioural therapy. Instead of arguing with every thought as it arrives, you give worries one short, scheduled window and keep the rest of your day.

  1. 01When it shows up

    Put it down

    Write the worry as it came and mark how heavy it feels. It takes seconds. No streaks, no long prompts, no pressure to solve it now.

  2. 02Through the day

    Let it wait

    It waits for your daily worry time instead of following you around, so you can get back to your day, or your sleep.

  3. 03At worry time

    Revisit it

    Look again with more distance. Can you act on it, or is it a what-if? Did worrying give you a next step, or keep you circling?

How many were only what-ifs?

At the start you guess how many of your worries come true. Worry time quietly tests that guess against what actually happened.

Within a week you can see how many of your worries turned out to be what-ifs, which gave you a next step, and which kept you circling.
