Tools
Small systems can reduce daily friction. These tools are for everyday support, not perfection.
One-page reset
Write down: body needs, one urgent task, one message, one recovery action.
Transition buffer
Leave a visible gap between tasks. Pack early, hydrate, and close one loop before opening another.
Communication prompt
Ask: “Do you want comfort, space, or problem-solving?” Then wait long enough for a real answer.
Energy check
Notice whether you are under-stimulated, over-stimulated, hungry, tired, socially full, or emotionally loaded.
Boundary script
“I can’t do that today. I can do a shorter version tomorrow.” Clear, kind, and usable.
Recovery plan
Reduce input, stop adding demands, use simple language, and return in smaller steps.
