My Current Capacity Check
Noticing today's demand early, so the day can be shaped on purpose rather than discovered halfway through.
A keep-close version. Read it here, or screenshot this page to have it on your phone — print and PDF copies will appear once final files are attached.
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.
How does today compare with the last few days?
What already feels demanding?
Choose anything that fits — exertion comes in more forms than activity.
What genuinely needs attention today?
The one necessary thing
e.g. Medication by 4pm
Anything else that truly can't move
e.g. — (it's allowed to be nothing)
What could be smaller?
What could someone else help with?
A name, a task — or leave blank if today's help is 'nothing, yet'.
Who, and with what
e.g. Dad — answering the phone for me
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.
The meaningful thing
e.g. Ten quiet minutes of my audiobook, uninterrupted
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.
