A deck of cards for your to-do list
Every article on procrastination asks you to understand your fears, pick from fifty tips, and build a new system. Ship Deck skips all of it. Pick the next item on your list, draw a card, and do the item the card’s way. Today.
The deck, online
Type the item you’re about to do, then draw. The card tells you how. When it’s done, hit “Shipped it” and go to the next item. The deck deals all 35 cards before any repeats.

35 WAYS TO SHIP YOUR TO-DO LIST
The ritual
Whatever is next on your list. Laundry, a tax form, the email you’ve been avoiding. Any task works.
Shuffle and take the top card. You don’t choose the method. The deck does.
Do the item exactly as the card says, and finish it today. No redraws. Next item, new card.
Why a random card works
You don’t need a diagnosis. Knowing why you procrastinate is interesting. It isn’t required to do the dishes.
The stall is the “how.” You already know the task. What stops you is deciding how to start it. The card makes that call.
Tip lists fail because you have to pick one. Fifty tips is fifty more decisions. One random card is zero.
Every card works on anything. Alone, on any task, in any mood, finished today. That’s the rule every card had to pass.
The usual advice
Understand your fear of failure. Fix your perfectionism. Build a system. Choose from 47 strategies. Then start.
Ship Deck
Draw a card. Do what it says. Cross it off.
Every card in the deck
Each card is a method, not a tip. Each one works on any task, done alone, finished today.
