Essential / Helpful / Can Wait
Deciding in advance what must happen, what helps, and what waits without exception.
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.
The three-column sort for a crash day — done in advance on a better day, consulted in fog. Everything lands in a column, and the 'can wait' column carries the day's weight.
Essential — must happen
- Water, within reach
- Medication, on time
- Warmth and lying down
- Someone knows the situation
Helpful — if the day allows
- Easy food within reach
- Company that asks nothing
- Someone carrying the messages
- The room lowered — dark, quiet
Can wait — everything else

PLANS
OBLIGATIONS
