Ladder is a ChatGPT plugin built on my self-reflection method. You name a goal, describe where you are now, list 3 to 5 obstacles and up to 5 fears. Ladder puts them on a ladder and shows which step is the real block, so you know where to start. Works in English, Russian and Kazakh. No sign-up, nothing is stored. It doesn't diagnose or treat anything; it helps you think clearly about one goal.
