When the internal sequence disappears
Emergency Restart
A short external sequence for the moment planning, initiation, and momentum are unavailable.
A shutdown moment is the wrong time to invent a rescue plan. The Emergency Restart moves the decisions outside your head.
The sequence
01
Check the body
Water, food, bathroom, medication routine, temperature, and physical safety first.
02
Change the state
Stand, move rooms, step outside, or change sensory input.
03
Shrink the move
Choose an action small enough to begin without planning the whole task.
04
Bring in support
Use a body double, timer, written prompt, or trusted person when needed.
