Supporter Pack | Ticked Bucket List Skip to content

Summary

What this is: A brief for supporters/companions to help the traveler follow the plan when fatigue or pain rises.
Who it’s for: Partners/family/friends traveling with (or supporting remotely) someone with flare-prone conditions.
Output: Companion brief + check-in script + ‘don’t debate’ pivot rules.
Method: Support the plan, not the argument—reduce decision load during symptoms.
Decision thresholds: If early-warning signs appear, pivot to Plan B within 10 minutes.
Safety boundary: This is not clinical advice. Seek urgent care for urgent symptoms.

Decision thresholds

Trigger	Action
If traveler shows early-warning signs	Do use the cue phrase and pivot to Plan B (no debate).
If you are a remote supporter	Do use a simple check-in plan and keep messages short and practical.
If you disagree about activity level	Do default to the traveler’s plan thresholds (not group pressure).
If there’s an urgent symptom change	Do seek local urgent care; do not rely on planning tools.

SUPPORTER BRIEF

Your job:
• Help reduce decisions when symptoms rise
• Protect buffers (sleep, rest windows, transit backups)
• Make pivots easy (Plan B is not a failure)

Cue phrase:
• “[cue phrase]” = immediate downshift (no debate)

Check-in script:
• “Where are you on a 0–10 load scale?”
• “Do we need Plan B now?”
• “What’s the next simplest step?”

What not to do:
• Don’t pressure “just one more thing”
• Don’t negotiate while they are overloaded
