Minimum Viable Day Recovery Protocol — minimum viable day protocol in ChatGPT

Conversation context lives in the thread, and separate threads do not see each other unless you say so.

Interface details, memory behavior, and tier features change. Keep the rules as pasteable text so nothing depends on a button existing.

Do this first. Open a fresh thread, paste the rules block at the top, and do the day's work below it rather than extending yesterday's thread.

Do not do this. Building the workflow around a memory or projects feature. It is convenient and it is not inspectable, so drift in it is invisible.

Keep a low-capacity day non-zero without pretending it is a normal day. It runs on one trigger: an honest read that the normal plan is not going to happen today.

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.

Worked example: the minimum viable day protocol in ChatGPT

An honest read that the normal plan is not going to happen today. Keep a low-capacity day non-zero without pretending it is a normal day.

Conversation context lives in the thread, and separate threads do not see each other unless you say so. Paste the rules block at the top of a new thread each day rather than extending yesterday's.

Say the capacity out loud before you look at the list: what fraction of a normal day is actually available.

What to measure. One output with a written finished state, an explicit deferral list, and a stop condition.

Running Minimum Viable Day Recovery Protocol for the minimum viable day protocol

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 the minimum viable day protocol.

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.

What it leaves behind: one output with a written finished state, an explicit deferral list, and a stop condition.
