My Current Capacity Check

A one-minute check to help the day take its shape from how things actually are — not from how yesterday went or how the week 'should' look. There is no score, and no wrong answer.

What this is for: Noticing today's demand early, so the day can be shaped on purpose rather than discovered halfway through.

1

How does today compare with the last few days?

2

What already feels demanding?

Choose anything that fits — exertion comes in more forms than activity.

3

What genuinely needs attention today?

You can leave this blank.

4

What could be smaller?

5

What could someone else help with?

A name, a task — or leave blank if today's help is 'nothing, yet'.

6

Is there something meaningful I want capacity left for?

Capacity spent entirely on maintenance is a poor trade. If something matters to you, it goes in first.

What you've put together

Your choices stay on this page — nothing is saved or sent.

Today's shape, based on what you've noticed rather than what the calendar assumed. You do not need to work out your exact capacity — a rough shape is genuinely enough, and it can change by this afternoon.

Nothing chosen yet — that's fine. Use only what helps today.

A smaller day chosen on purpose is a different day, not a failed one. If today changes, the shape can change with it — that's the whole practice.
