Raw Text
Claude Response JSON
Step 1
Generate the prompt

The app packages your current state + whatever you've dropped or pasted into a prompt with a strict JSON schema.

Step 2
Paste into Claude

Open claude.ai or Cowork. Paste the prompt. Copy the JSON Claude returns. Come back here and paste it in the Paste JSON Response tab.

03 · Overwhelm Protocol

When it hits.

Breathe

Inhale 4 · Hold 2 · Exhale 6. Three times.

1
Stop and close everything
One tab. One window. This one.

Close every other browser tab. Put your phone face-down. The notifications will still be there in 20 minutes.

2
Brain dump
Get it out of your head

Everything competing for your attention, one thing per line. No filter. Don't organize it — just dump it.

3
Triage — today vs. later
Not everything is actually urgent

For each item above, ask: does this need to happen TODAY? Most will be no.

4
Pick exactly ONE thing
The smallest, most concrete next action

Not "work on paper" — but "write the first paragraph of the intro." If it takes longer than 25 minutes to explain, break it smaller.

5
Start a 25-minute Pomodoro
Just 25 minutes

You only have to work for 25 minutes. If you can't start — set the timer for 5 minutes. 5 minutes is always enough to begin.

6
Debrief
End the session with acknowledgment

Cross off what you did. Ask: what's the next smallest thing? Then either do another Pomodoro or stop for today.

Can't start at all
Open a note. Write: "I don't know where to start with [task] because..." Finishing that sentence usually breaks the block.
Everything feels equally urgent
Ask: "What would I regret NOT doing most?" Do that one thing. Everything else can wait.
Behind and panicking
Email your professor before the deadline. A 3-line honest message buys you goodwill and often an extension.
11pm can't sleep
Close the laptop. A rested brain in the morning beats a panicked one at midnight.

          Let Study OS write directly to School/StudyOS/data/ in your vault every time state changes. Your vault becomes the source of truth — localStorage becomes just a cache. Chrome / Edge / Opera only (over HTTPS or localhost).
