Worry Postponement Before Bed

Worry postponement is the practice of setting aside a fixed time earlier in the day to deliberately attend to worries, so that when they surface at night they can be deferred to a slot that genuinely exists.

How it works

Worry arrives at night because night is the first quiet moment, not because night is when it is relevant. Postponement works by giving it a real appointment rather than trying to suppress it, which tends to fail. This tool sets up the earlier slot, then gives you the specific move to make when a thought arrives after lights out.
