Minimum Viable Day Recovery Protocol — private journaling boundaries as a defined term

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.

Minimum Viable Day Recovery Protocol shrinks the day to one meaningful action when capacity is low.

Do this first. Decide the categories in advance — work state and commitments in, personal health and third-party information out — and write the line down.

Do not do this. The metric that misleads here: whether a provider says data is private. What matters is what you decided to put in before you read the policy.

What should and should not go into a tool I do not control? Decide the categories in advance — work state and commitments in, personal health and third-party information out — and write the line down.

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.

  1. Say the capacity out loud before you look at the list: what fraction of a normal day is actually available.
  2. Pick exactly one output that would make today non-zero, and define its finished state in a sentence.
  3. Delete or defer everything else in writing, so the deferral is a decision rather than a failure.
  4. Stop when the one output is done, even if energy returns. Stopping on purpose is what makes the smaller day repeatable.
