The One-Anchor-Per-Day Rule

One anchor per day is not “doing less.” It’s doing the part that matters, reliably. Education + planning support only.

Rule table

Use thresholds to decide when to tighten or loosen the rule.

Decision threshold: If function is blocked (not just discomfort), switch to “one anchor every 48 hours” until stable.

FAQ

What counts as an “anchor”?
The one experience you’d be sad to miss. Everything else is optional.
Can I ever do two anchors?
Yes, but only if you’ve been stable for multiple days and you keep recovery blocks intact.
What if companions want a packed itinerary?
Split plans: they do extras, you protect the anchor + recovery.
Is this medical advice?
No. Education + planning support only.
