Quit And Switch
Open by pairing a quit with a start — the symmetry of stopping one thing and beginning another creates instant narrative momentum.
When
Use this when your video's payoff is a personal transformation or habit swap and you want to imply the lesson through contrast instead of stating it outright — perfect for before/after stories, mindset shifts, or routine overhauls.
