// 🧠 Overload Recovery Kit

// 1. Label It, Don’t Fight It - write one honest sentence.
// “Okay, my brain just hit overload. That’s fine. That’s a signal, not a failure.”

// 2. Micro-Reset (30–60 seconds)
// - Stretch
// - 4–4–4–4 breathing (in, hold, out, hold)
// - Name 3 things I’ve done right today
// - Look at something real (tree, window, sky)

// 3 Overload Log

// 🟨 What just happened:
// > [describe the moment — e.g. "looked at ViewModel binding, brain froze, opened Twitter"]

// 🟨 What I was trying to do:
// > [restate your goal — e.g. "hook up onSave to update the store before dismissing the sheet"]

// 🟨 What’s confusing or annoying:
// > [call out the sticking point — e.g. "can't remember if I made onSave async or not"]

// 🟨 What would help me reset:
// > [suggestion to myself — e.g. "write out the expected flow in comments before touching the code"]
