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

Sits inside a wider product ecosystem, so some steps can be shortened by integration.

Integration convenience is not portable. Anything load-bearing should also work from a pasted block.

Do this first. Decide what the integration is allowed to see, write that decision down, and only then wire anything to it.

Do not do this. Accepting the default integration scope because it is convenient. Scope decided by a default is scope you did not decide.

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 Gemini

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.

Sits inside a wider product ecosystem, so some steps can be shortened by integration. Decide deliberately what the integration is allowed to see, and write that decision down before you rely on it.

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.
