Executive Review Mode — missed-day recovery as a defined term

Use it when you already know most of what you need to know and the problem is that it is not organized into a decision.

Executive Review Mode organizes known strategy without adding new theories.

Do this first. Log the miss without explanation, refuse the catch-up, and run today's normal-size version at a fixed time.

Do not do this. The metric that misleads here: longest streak. It says nothing about what happens after a break, which is the only thing that determines whether the practice lasts.

What happens on the day after the thing did not happen? Log the miss without explanation, refuse the catch-up, and run today's normal-size version at a fixed time.

When this framework is the right one. Use it when you already know most of what you need to know and the problem is that it is not organized into a decision.

  1. State the decision that is actually waiting, in one sentence ending in a verb.
  2. List only what you already know that bears on it. New research is out of scope for the session.
  3. Separate the list into facts, assumptions, and unknowns, and mark which unknowns would actually change the decision.
  4. Make the decision, or name the single piece of information that would settle it and how you will get it.
