Being the Founder and Managing Consultant at spectup, I am not a therapist, but I often work with founders who are supported by mental health professionals and ask for structure that helps them stay consistent between sessions. One micro intervention I've seen work well in early January is setting a single SMART goal that is deliberately small and almost impossible to fail. The goal is framed as one action per day, at the same time, for less than five minutes, tied to a clear trigger. I usually encourage something like writing one sentence in a notes app after waking up, describing energy level or mood, nothing more. I remember one founder dealing with depressive symptoms during a difficult fundraising pause. Their therapist suggested journaling, but adherence was low because the task felt heavy. We reframed it into a one sentence check in every morning after making coffee, for two weeks only. Because it was specific, time bound, and minimal, resistance dropped immediately. What made it effective was that success was guaranteed. Missing days decreased because the task did not compete with motivation or energy. After a week, the founder reported feeling more in control simply by showing up consistently. The key lesson I learned is that adherence improves when goals protect dignity. Small wins rebuild trust with oneself. In early January, when pressure is high and energy is low, micro commitments create momentum without overwhelm.
