Notebook path
A short line noting seed versus bloom can be enough context for future you—no streak requirement.

Printed-journal columns
Lists stay descriptive. They do not prescribe how you should feel afterward or imply measurable results.
Seed
When capacity is small
- Fill one glass of water after a meeting block
- Step outdoors for sixty seconds and name one color you see
- Fold one blanket to reset the couch visually
Sprout
When capacity is steady
- Ten-minute walk on flat ground at a conversational tempo
- Prepare a plate with three visible food groups you already have
- Sort tomorrow's bag the night before in five minutes
Bloom
When capacity feels generous
- Longer stroll with a gentle warm-up you already know
- Batch-prepare two simple meals for later reheating
- Light mobility sequence you learned from a qualified coach
Same column, new day
If bloom never appears this week, that is information—not failure. Move sideways between tiers as often as needed; the journal metaphor assumes edits, not exams.

Where to log privately
Paper or offline notes keep your reflections yours. Digital trackers can help some people; choose what matches your privacy preference.
Voice memo path
Speak one sentence after a tiered habit if writing feels heavy. Delete files whenever you wish.
