Capacity Protection Plan
Progress is moving. Something else is paying for it.
The work can look productive while recovery, health, attention, or relationships cover the cost.
Name one thing that does not get traded away, one commitment to reduce or delay, and one if/then rule for the next time the week tries to spend them.

Use this when
- The week is moving, but at a cost.
- Recovery, health, attention, or relationships are financing the output.
- You need one boundary you will actually keep.
- Another push would only borrow more.
What you leave with
- One non-negotiable to protect
- One commitment to reduce, delay, or renegotiate
- One if/then rule for the week ahead
