Begin Each Day With a Calm, Regulated Start
Checking your task list first thing triggers morning anxiety spikes. Notis reverses that order - you receive a grounding cat image first, giving your nervous system time to regulate before work thoughts arrive.

Why this helps
You wake up and immediately check Linear, spiraling into overwhelm and dread. The first thing you see is all your unfinished work, and your day starts in fight-or-flight mode.
- Start your day regulated instead of panicked
- Create a protective buffer between waking and work thoughts
- Build a ritualistic, predictable start
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Cats integrations to your Notis account in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation with trigger type 'Scheduled (Cron)' set to daily at 8:00 AM in your timezone.
- 3Enter the plain-language instruction: 'Every morning at 8am, fetch a calming cat image from Cats and send it to me to start my day regulated.'
- 4Choose the notification channel (SMS for guaranteed visibility, or Slack if you prefer it there).
- 5Leave it running for one week and notice how your morning mood improves before you even check your backlog.
Questions about this workflow
Can I change the time if 8am doesn't work for me?
Absolutely. Notis lets you set any time - early risers can get 6am, night owls can delay until 10am or later.
What if I want something other than cat images?
You can customize to cat facts, breed information, or even a mix of different content types from Cats.
