Design Your Minimum Viable Routine
Protect the few actions that keep you connected to your plan during busy periods.
What to know
Maintenance needs a floor that survives imperfect weeks.
The minimum routine should cover the highest-value actions.
Temporarily doing less is different from giving up.
This week’s practice
Turn the lesson into one useful experiment.
- 1
Choose one nourishment, movement, recovery, and care action.
- 2
Make each action small enough for a difficult week.
- 3
Write the signal that tells you to rebuild.
Questions to take into care
“Which routine protects my most important risk factor?”
“What symptoms mean the minimum is no longer enough?”
