One thing you are trying to leave at the door for this hour
Each person names a distraction or worry they will park temporarily. No problem-solving—just acknowledgment.
How to use it
Emphasize imperfection: “If it comes back in, that is normal.”
Works well after incidents when people carry blame anxiety.
Optionally use a physical metaphor: move a sticky to a “parking lot” column.
Retrospective boards that pair well
Emotion-forward boards help process what people just named; Pre-Mortem helps refocus on prevention.
