Gentle Planning

Goal: fewer decisions, more follow-through

• 1 Priority: the one thing that matters most
• 3 Support Tasks: small tasks that help life run
• Stop Line: “When I finish the priority, I’m done.”

Take a task and shrink it until it feels easy:

• Open the document
• Write one sentence
• Set a 5-minute timer
• Find one resource
• Do one tiny piece, then stop
   

Mini rule: If it takes under 2 minutes, it counts.

Pick 2–3 “anchors” and attach tasks to them:

• After coffee: respond to one message
• After lunch: 5-minute tidy
• Before bed: choose tomorrow’s priority
   

Anchors work because you don’t have to “remember.” You just follow the moment.

On hard days, choose:

• One care task (water/food/meds/rest)
• One progress task (2–10 minutes) 

That’s it. That’s the plan.
