No Catch-Up Closure Rule — context retention as a defined term

Use it when yesterday's undone list is about to be added on top of today's list.

No Catch-Up Closure Rule closes missed work without turning yesterday into punishment.

Do this first. Separate stable rules from disposable daily runtime, and re-seed the runtime from the rules rather than extending a thread.

Do not do this. The metric that misleads here: thread length. A long thread feels like accumulated context and is usually accumulated contradiction.

How does the assistant stop working from a version of my situation that expired? Separate stable rules from disposable daily runtime, and re-seed the runtime from the rules rather than extending a thread.

When this framework is the right one. Use it when yesterday's undone list is about to be added on top of today's list.

  1. Put yesterday's undone items in a separate place from today's plan. Never merge the two lists.
  2. Give every carried item one of three dispositions: do today as a named block, reschedule to a named day, or drop.
  3. Write the dropped items down as dropped. A deletion you can see is closure; a deletion you cannot see comes back as pressure.
  4. Build today's plan only after the carried list is empty of undecided items.

Carry-forward disposition table

DispositionWhen it appliesWhat has to be written
Do todayThe item is still the highest-value thing available and it fits the hours you actually have.A start time and a finished state.
RescheduleThe item still matters but today has no room for it at honest size.A specific day, not "soon" or "this week".
DropThe item mattered on the day it was written and does not now.One line saying it was dropped, so it stops re-entering as a vague obligation.
UndecidedNot an allowed end state.Anything left undecided is treated as dropped at the end of the pass.
