Action plan

Take the smallest useful next step

  1. Watch the selected video with notes.
  2. Complete the practice action: Write a zero-impact entertainment cap, session timer, stop triggers, and self-exclusion contact before playing.
  3. Verify one important claim using an independent authoritative source.
  4. Record one remaining question and one next step.

Important boundary
