SYSTEM + SOIL
3-MINUTE CAPACITY CHECK-IN

A short pause to name what you have, make today more workable, and choose one kind next step.

1. NAME THE CAPACITY YOU HAVE
Right now, I have capacity for…

Choose a few honest words. A little, some, or almost none all count.


2. MAKE THE DAY SMALLER
The smallest useful version of today is…

Let the full version go for now. Name the version you can actually meet.


3. DECIDE WHAT CAN WAIT
This can wait without becoming an emergency…

Set down one expectation, task, or reply that does not need your attention today.


4. CHOOSE ONE KIND NEXT STEP
One kind next step is…

Pick something clear and small enough to begin without negotiating with yourself.


A smaller plan is still a plan. A kind next step is still a next step.
