Label the thought

Practice tool. A quick conclusion gets a name, then a date to leave.

A tired mind closes questions fast. Someone did not reply, so they think less of me. A form refused me, so I do not belong. The conclusion arrives before the facts, and it feels like a fact.

This tool slows that down by one step. Write the thought. Give it a label: a judgment, a rule I was given, all or nothing. Then choose when it fades. Nothing is permanent here, by design.

Labelled, still here

Nothing labelled yet.

    How it keeps your notes

    The notes stay in this browser’s own storage, on this device. They are never sent anywhere. Each note disappears on its fade date, the next time this page opens. Save as a text file if you want to keep them. Let all go clears them now.

    A private window, or a browser that blocks storage, keeps the notes only until the page closes.

    What it is not

    It is not therapy, and it measures nothing. It gives a passing thought a name and a date to leave. Sense making stays with you. Nothing here has an inherent meaning.
