Your start button isn't broken. It just needs a smaller first step — and someone to stay with you while you take it.
I'm Kevin, I'm building Jolt. Tell me what you're stuck on — I'll personally send you a breakdown.
I'll email you with a breakdown. One step at a time — that's the whole trick.
It's the gap between knowing what to do and actually starting. It can last minutes — or hours — while shame compounds in the background. Timers don't fix it. Lists don't fix it. Having a presence helps — it dampens the noise, and the ice around starting melts. But you can't always find someone, schedule them, and hope they show up. Jolt is always available, finds the first step, and stays with you until you take it.
The task with the most resistance around it. The one you've been circling for days. That's it — just one.
Small enough that saying no would be embarrassing. Something to guide the first step works better than trying to generate motivation from nothing — Jolt finds it.
No scheduling. No no-shows. Available at 2am or 9am. Checks in, adjusts, keeps the thread alive until you actually start.
One question. One commitment. No to-do list.
One card. One step. No chat thread.
One question. Don't break the streak.
Tell me what you're stuck on. I'll personally break it down and send it to you.
