Task Step Reducer
For any one task: list its steps, mark which can go, move or shrink — then write the floor version down before the day you need it. A routine that collapses when capacity drops was always too long; a shortened one keeps its place in the day.
What this is for: Having the floor version of a task decided in advance, so a bad day doesn't require inventing one.
The task
You can leave this blank.
Which steps can go, move or shrink?
The floor version, written down
The version that keeps the task happening at all — not a failure version, the surviving one.

What you've put together
Your choices stay on this page — nothing is saved or sent.
The floor version, written and waiting — so the heaviest day follows a plan instead of improvising one mid-task.
Nothing chosen yet — that's fine. Use only what helps today.
Choosing the version when rested is one decision. Discovering it mid-task, when it's already too late, is a small crisis. The page is the difference.
A clean, keep-close version — read it here, or screenshot the page to have it on your phone.
