Red‑eye Flight Plan Card | Ticked Bucket List Skip to content

Summary

What this is: Red‑eye Flight Plan Card — a one-page template designed for low decision load.
Who it’s for: Travelers with chronic pain, fatigue, or flare-prone conditions.
Output: A Plan A + Plan B + Rescue + Restore block you can reuse.
Method: Predict–Protect–Rescue–Restore (PPRR) with clear pivot rules.
Decision thresholds: If you’re in a flare, downgrade to the minimum plan immediately.
Safety boundary: Planning support only; not medical advice/clearance.

Decision thresholds

Trigger	Action
If you’re already tired on the day	Do start with minimum plan (1 anchor activity + rest) and avoid stacking.
If symptoms increase above early-warning	Do pivot to Plan B (shorter/indoor/seated) within 10 minutes.
If you need to conserve for tomorrow	Do protect sleep window and cap total activity duration.
If unexpected delays happen	Do use buffer: sit, hydrate, reduce tasks—do not ‘push through’.
