Minimum Viable Day Recovery Protocol — finish a minimum viable day
On low-capacity days the choice presents as the whole plan or nothing, and it usually resolves to nothing.
The normal plan was written for a different day, and negotiating with it consumes the capacity that was available.
Do this first. State the capacity before opening the list, name one output that would make today non-zero, write its finished state, and defer everything else in writing.
Do not do this. Doing a normal day at reduced quality. It produces a day that is neither finished nor rested, and no template for the next low day.
This level fits when: you need one answer now and you are not going to do this repeatedly. It does not fit when: you have asked the same kind of question more than three times. At that point the retyping is the cost, and it is worth installing something.
When this framework is the right one. Use it on a day where the honest read is that the normal plan is not going to happen, and the choice is between a smaller day and no day.
- Say the capacity out loud before you look at the list: what fraction of a normal day is actually available.
- Pick exactly one output that would make today non-zero, and define its finished state in a sentence.
- Delete or defer everything else in writing, so the deferral is a decision rather than a failure.
- Stop when the one output is done, even if energy returns. Stopping on purpose is what makes the smaller day repeatable.
Using a general assistant chat: what to supply and what to expect
| Layer | What it means here | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| What you type | The full context every time: your situation, the constraint, and what a good answer looks like. | Omitting the constraint is why answers come back generic. |
| What the assistant knows | Only what is in this thread. | Do not assume it remembers a preference you stated last week in another chat. |
| What persists | Nothing. | Copy anything worth keeping out to a file before the thread scrolls. |
| When to leave this mode | After the third repeat of the same request. | Repetition is the signal to write the instruction down instead. |
Common misreadings: using a general assistant chat
| Element | What it is here |
|---|---|
| What it is usually mistaken for | A capability question. The capability is there; what is missing is anything that persists between sessions. |
| The metric that misleads | How good the last answer was. In this mode the next one is independent of it. |
| What to do in the first week | Notice the third time you retype the same instruction. That is the signal to leave this mode. |
| Where this stops | Organizational support only. It is not clinical, legal, or financial advice. |
Common misreadings: finish a minimum viable day
| Element | What it is here |
|---|---|
| What it is usually mistaken for | Giving up on the day. A named smaller day is the opposite of abandoning it. |
| The metric that misleads | Percentage of the plan completed, which makes a deliberately smaller day look like a failed normal one. |
| What to do in the first week | State capacity before opening the list, name one output, and stop when it is done. |
| Where this stops | Organizational support only. It is not clinical, legal, or financial advice. |
Worked example: Finish a minimum viable day while using a general assistant chat
Someone sits down with this on the list. On low-capacity days the choice presents as the whole plan or nothing, and it usually resolves to nothing.
Open a new chat and paste the whole situation, including the constraint you would normally leave out because it feels obvious. State the capacity before opening the list, name one output that would make today non-zero, write its finished state, and defer everything else in writing.
The framework then runs in order. First: say the capacity out loud before you look at the list: what fraction of a normal day is actually available. Then: pick exactly one output that would make today non-zero, and define its finished state in a sentence.
What to measure. Whether the one output was completed and whether you stopped at the stop condition. Two binary fields.
Running Minimum Viable Day Recovery Protocol for using a general assistant chat
Most low-capacity days are lost to negotiating with a plan that was written for a different day. Naming a smaller day up front, in advance of the negotiation, removes the negotiation. The day still counts, and the system stays installed.
The full set of failure modes for this framework, the evidence to record, and a prompt you can paste are on its framework page. This page covers the part specific to using a general assistant chat.
What this is not. It is not permission to do less indefinitely, and it is not a treatment for exhaustion or illness. It is a way to keep a system installed across a bad day.
You are working inside an ordinary chat window with no saved setup. Whatever structure exists has to be typed into the message you are about to send.
Setup cost: none. This is the mode you are already in, which is why it is the one people actually use.
Where it is strong: zero friction to start, and it works on any device, any account, any day.
Where it is weak: nothing persists. The quality of the answer is set entirely by what you happened to type this time, so the same question gets a different answer on a different day.
Frequently asked questions
What if energy returns after the one output is done?
Bank it as an early finish. Expanding scope teaches you that the minimum day was not real, and the next time capacity drops you will not use it.
Is Minimum Viable Day Recovery Protocol the right framework for this?
Use it on a day where the honest read is that the normal plan is not going to happen, and the choice is between a smaller day and no day. It is not permission to do less indefinitely, and it is not a treatment for exhaustion or illness. It is a way to keep a system installed across a bad day.
What should a reader do in the first week on finish a minimum viable day?
State capacity before opening the list, name one output, and stop when it is done. Giving up on the day. A named smaller day is the opposite of abandoning it.
What should a reader do in the first week on use ChatGPT to?
Notice the third time you retype the same instruction. That is the signal to leave this mode. A capability question. The capability is there; what is missing is anything that persists between sessions.
