Demand Map
One page for one real day: every demand written out — visible and invisible — so the whole picture can be weighed before it's lived. The unit of planning is the day, not the task.
What this is for: Seeing the total cost of a day honestly, so overload stops arriving by surprise.
The day I'm mapping
You can leave this blank.
Visible demands
Hidden demands
The costs that don't make it onto a to-do list but get paid all the same.
Background load already running
Open loops, sensory hum, worries on repeat — the spending that happens without events.
You can leave this blank.
The honest verdict
The shape it needs
What you've put together
Your choices stay on this page — nothing is saved or sent.
The whole day, on paper — including the parts nobody would see on a list, and the decision about what gives.
Nothing chosen yet — that's fine. Use only what helps today.
A trade-off made deliberately is a plan; the same trade-off made by collapse is a crash. Whatever you moved today, you chose it — and that's the skill.
A clean, keep-close version — read it here, or screenshot the page to have it on your phone.
