Why this helps
Blockers feel permanent. You get stuck and can't imagine a path forward. Paralysis sets in instead of problem-solving.
- Interrupt stuck-ness with active problem-solving energy
- Shift from helplessness to creative action
- Build confidence finding paths around obstacles
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Cats to your Notis account.
- 2Create an automation with trigger 'Issue Updated' filtered to 'blocked' label or blocked status.
- 3Enter the instruction: 'When an issue becomes blocked, fetch a creative problem-solving cat fact and send it to shift my mindset from stuck to action-oriented.'
- 4Route to SMS for immediate energy shift before paralysis sets in.
- 5Test by tagging an issue as blocked and verify the problem-solving message arrives to reframe the situation.
