DECK
The Next Move

About this deck
Stuck is not a thinking problem. You have thought about it plenty. What is missing is a move small enough to actually make. Every card hands you one. Five sets: Move breaks the freeze, Choose stops the circling, Act turns intention into evidence, Adjust keeps you going without perfection, and Continue protects your momentum, plus wild cards for the moments that fit nowhere. Name what has you stuck, draw one, and do it before you draw again. The companion to Unstuck, and useful long after the thirty-five days are over.
