Research-supported underlying process · evidence grade A/B

Where it comes from

Draws on recovery and self-distancing research.

What the evidence says

Detachment interventions show a small-to-moderate benefit; detaching is linked with less exhaustion and better well-being and sleep.

When it helps

After work, before sleep, after an intense meeting.

Offered in the app for: Post-meeting rumination

Try it

Capture it once → choose tomorrow’s action → set a time to return → close it.
Capture one necessary action. If nothing urgent remains, return to something outside the interaction.

Watch out

Not for pushing away urgent safety or legal tasks.
Do not ignore urgent duties or danger.
