Check in when a ritual feels repetitive

Ask which part is useful and which part has become automatic.

Try this

  1. Identify whether the repetition is in the question, the timing or the expected answer.
  2. Try a different prompt only if both want to keep the format. Stopping altogether should remain a valid choice.

A worked example

“Do we still like this question, or should we choose another?”

An invented example to adapt, not a real exchange or a script you have to follow.

Before you leave it here

Retire a prompt without demanding that someone prove it has stopped working.

This is a voluntary planning exercise. Keep your notes private, adapt the language, and leave any question unanswered. It does not require Ourling or a purchase.
