Path overlay
Do not add a vision on top of an empty tank.
This overlay is always legal. If any other path starts lying, come here. Success is one recovered hour, not a new identity. If the nights are the whole story, pause and open the Method.
How this overlay teaches
The week is already spent by 10am. We will not add a vision. One recovered hour, one decision handed away, one honest “none” on the week tool — that is a complete spine. Switching here from Standard, Empty House, or Diaspora is not a demotion. If even this is too much, the Method reading is kinder than a blank January page.
| Week | Capacity-first exercise | Done when |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Name Capacity-first. Room 1 only. Skip the letter if it feels like more work — or read it and stop. | Three lines |
| 1 | The first hour that spends the week. Protect the next one or stop promising it. | One hour named |
| 2 | The 11pm decision a junior should own. Draft the hand-off. Do not send yet if the week cannot. | Mind named |
| 3 | What you would stop if the firm would not collapse. One item. | Work named |
| 4 | Price the help you refuse to hire. Write the number. | A price |
| 5 | The work dependency you are afraid to name. On the map only. | People named |
| 6 | Meaning sits behind one recovered hour. January page with one or two rooms is enough. | A small page |
| 7 | Life A and a smaller Life B. Skip a heroic Life C. | Two sketches |
| 8 | One recovered hour is a complete week. Tick it. | One tick is success |
| 9 | Send the hand-off, or recover the hour. Not both unless it is easy. | One behaviour |
| 10 | The 23:10 Slack. In writing: from Monday this sits with you. | Dated email |
| 11 | Same sentence to one person, or skip if Week 10 was the whole tank. | Optional |
| 12 | If one hour was held, the curriculum succeeded. Do not punish that with a bigger map. | Look written |
Nights louder than years: Method reading.
