What is one task you keep meaning to start? Name the first action someone could actually see.
Write that action on one card and place it where the task begins. Try it once. Starting is the experiment; finishing is optional.
Lower-energy option: Open the place where the task lives, or write its name.
Was the first action clear enough? Change the cue if it blended into the background.
Which item makes a routine harder when you cannot find it?
Give that one item a visible, reachable home near the point of use. Use an existing tray, hook, basket or shelf.
Lower-energy option: Choose the location; moving the item can wait.
Did it take less searching? A home is useful only if it is easy to return to.
What is the hardest part of moving from one activity to another?
Create a three-part bridge: save what you were doing, name what comes next, choose one cue for the move. Try it at one transition.
Lower-energy option: Write the next activity in one phrase.
Which part of the bridge helped? If a timer is stressful, use a written cue or a natural stopping point instead.
At one routine moment, what sound, light, texture or movement feels workable for you?
Choose one adjustable input and try a small change. Keep the task otherwise the same so you can notice the difference.
Lower-energy option: Name one preference without changing anything.
Was the adjustment welcome, neutral or unhelpful? Your preference can change across days.
What matters most about this routine if your available energy is low?
Write the usual plan and a smaller plan. Keep one action that serves the real need, and remove optional steps for this version.
Lower-energy option: Choose one essential action.
Would the smaller version be usable on a difficult day? Make it smaller again if needed.
Which repeated choice uses more energy than it needs to?
Create two acceptable defaults and one fallback. Write them where the choice happens. A default is an option you may change, not a rule.
Lower-energy option: Choose one acceptable default for today.
Did the defaults reduce searching or add pressure? Adjust them to fit your real preferences.
What information would make a shared task easier for the next person—including future you?
Write three lines: what is done, what is next, and where the needed item or file is. Use it for one household or work handoff.
Lower-energy option: Write only what comes next.
Could someone act without asking you to remember everything? Keep private details out of shared notes.
Which support from the past weeks would you choose again?
Choose one to keep, one to adjust and one to drop. Pick a single new moment for your next experiment.
Lower-energy option: Finish: I will keep ___.
What did you observe, rather than what did you achieve? There is no required streak or progress score.
Choose one message and one useful action.
Worked example: a visitor needs to find the quiet room; action: read the arrival guide.
Choose a small moment you want to make easier.
Participation is optional. Educational reflection, not clinical care.
Walk through the space and note observations.
Observe preferences; do not assume everyone wants the same support. No compliance certification.
Choose a product for a practical job before choosing a brand.
Educator and designer resource, not clinical advice. Products are optional.
