Week 2: Make a plan and a fallback

Turn an observed opening into a repeatable appointment.

Your task this week

Write a normal version and a shorter fallback for one existing plan.

Work through the decision

  1. Open last week’s record and find an appointment that was feasible. Do not increase it because the calendar says week two.
  2. Name the activity, usable time and setting for the normal version. Keep the fallback familiar and suitable, with less setup.
  3. Write the trigger for using the fallback: a shortened break, a closed venue or missing transport. Record which version actually happened.

A realistic example

Editorial example: Sam can usually reach a nearby park after work but sometimes leaves late. The normal plan includes the park journey; the fallback uses a familiar nearby route. Neither version is a punishment or a way to make up a numerical debt. The change solves a travel constraint.

Review before moving on

Did the fallback remove a real barrier? If both versions were impractical, change the opening or setting before adding motivation reminders.
