Use a Short Pause Before an Ordinary Decision

Pause briefly before a reactive low-risk choice, breathe comfortably or simply sit quietly, then decide whether to act, gather one missing fact, or defer deliberately.

Portable instruction

What the agent should do

Name the decision in one sentence. Take a few comfortable breaths or use a quiet pause; seven is only a memorable optional count. Ask what is known, what is missing, and whether the choice is reversible. Then act, gather one specific piece of information, or set a deliberate time to revisit it.

Check-in

After the pause, did I act, identify one missing fact, or defer the decision intentionally—and what made that the appropriate next step?
