What Is Already Taking Capacity?
Some demand doesn't arrive as events — it just runs, quietly, all the time. This is an inventory of the background load: the open loops, the worries on repeat, the sensory hum. Naming it is often the cheapest capacity gain available.
What this is for: Making continuous, invisible load visible — so something can be done about it.
Cognitive loops — the half-open things on my mind

Which one is costing the most right now?
Not the biggest on paper — the one that's actually running today.
The one move that shrinks it
Often the move is small: write it down, lower the setting, say the sentence, hand it over.
You can leave this blank.
What you've put together
Your choices stay on this page — nothing is saved or sent.
Your background load, itemised — with the one cheapest reduction chosen on purpose.
Nothing chosen yet — that's fine. Use only what helps today.
A day with 'nothing in it' can still be full — and that was never self-blame's business. Background load is load. It was never nothing.
