Stop Points Card
Write where each activity ends before you start it, so stopping is a decision you made when rested.
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.
Decisions made mid-task, when capacity is already dropping, tend to be optimistic. This card holds your stop points, decided in advance — so ending is a plan arriving on time, not a collapse needing explaining.
Common stop points worth writing
- One room cleaned — then a deliberate lie-downNot the whole flat
- The shower, seated — then nothing else upright for an hour
- The shop — list only, with a rest in the car before driving
- The visit — one hour, then the goodbye without renegotiating it
- The call — ten minutes, then 'I'm going to rest now'
- The good day — one meaningful thing, one gentle necessary thing, rest
My stop points
The line that ends the activity, written where you'll see it before you start.
Activity — and where it ends
e.g. Cooking: everything chopped by 6, seated breaks between stages, pan off by 6:40
'I'm going to stop here — this was my planned stopping point' is a complete sentence, for other people and for yourself.
