Prepare for Your Harder Days
Make a smaller-day plan while you have room to think about what you might need.
On a harder day, deciding what to drop can be its own burden. You might prepare a short version of your usual day in advance. Include what matters most, what can wait, and who you could ask for practical help if you want it.
Keep the plan somewhere easy to find, alongside a few accessible essentials that fit your needs. It does not need to cover every possibility. A simple meal option, a contact number, and permission to postpone one chore might be enough to start.
Try it
- Write down the essentials for a smaller day.
- Name two tasks that can wait.
- Keep a suitable easy meal option available.
- Add one person you could ask for practical help.
Make it yours
There's no one right way. A few other directions people take it:
- Make separate versions for staying home and attending an appointment.
- Keep a short spoken version you can replay.
