Foreground Priority Selection Rule — weekly planning against an accountability app

What accountability app does well: adds an external check and sometimes a social or financial cost to missing.

What it does not do: change what happens on the day you miss, other than by making the miss more expensive.

Do this first. External stakes reliably help you and the commitment is correctly sized already.

Do not do this. Treating the two as substitutes. Raising the cost of a miss also raises the cost of looking, and not looking is the failure mode that ends most accountability structures.

What is the week for, given that most of it is already committed? Fix the week's commitments first, then place at most three outputs against the remainder.

When this framework is the right one. Use it when several projects are all technically active and none of them is visibly moving.

Worked example: choosing between an accountability app and a written structure for weekly planning

What is the week for, given that most of it is already committed? External stakes reliably help you and the commitment is correctly sized already.

Change what happens on the day you miss, other than by making the miss more expensive. Raising the cost of a miss also raises the cost of looking, and not looking is the failure mode that ends most accountability structures.

Name one project as foreground for a stated period, measured in weeks rather than days.

What to measure. Outputs placed against outputs completed, read at the end of the week.

Running Foreground Priority Selection Rule for weekly planning support

Parallel projects do not share time evenly; they share it in whatever proportion the day's noise dictates, which usually means none of them gets a block long enough to produce a result. Naming one foreground project does not stop the others; it decides in advance which one wins a contested block.

  1. Name one project as foreground for a stated period, measured in weeks rather than days.
  2. Give every other active project an explicit background status with a maintenance floor: the minimum that keeps it from decaying.
  3. When a block is contested, the foreground project takes it. This is the entire rule and its whole value is that it is decided in advance.
  4. Review the foreground choice on a fixed date, not when a background project starts feeling urgent.

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 weekly planning support.

What this is not. It is not a ban on other work. Background projects continue at their maintenance floor; they just stop winning contested blocks.

Evidence that it is working: outputs placed against outputs completed, read at the end of the week.

Organizational support only. It is not clinical, legal, or financial advice.
