Implementation intentions

TinyStart helps you set clear, actionable plans for when and how you'll tackle tasks. By prompting you to specify the next tiny step and when you'll do it, the app leverages proven strategies to make re-entry into work easier and more automatic.

Behavioral activation

Instead of waiting for motivation, TinyStart nudges you to take immediate, low-effort actions. This approach is rooted in clinical psychology and helps break the cycle of avoidance, making it easier to get started even when you feel stuck.

Timeboxing & the Zeigarnik effect

By encouraging short, focused work sessions (timeboxing), TinyStart taps into the Zeigarnik effect—our tendency to remember unfinished tasks. This builds momentum and makes it easier to keep going, even after a tiny start.
