# Card 1: The Coach

**Reach for it when** the work is long, it matters, or it has gone wrong before. Check in while changing the plan is still cheap.

**Say it like this**

- "Before you write anything, show me your plan in five short lines. Then wait for me."
- "Draft only the first section and stop."
- "When you reach the pricing part, pause and show me your thinking first."

**Not this:** "Write the whole thing and I'll look at it when you're done."
