Keep a ritual when energy is uneven

Create a smaller version that one person can suggest without apologizing.

Try this

  1. Define the short version before the first low-capacity day, including what can be omitted.
  2. Let either person request it in plain language. Keep stopping entirely available if even the smaller version does not fit.

A worked example

“Could we do the five-minute version tonight?”

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

Before you leave it here

Make the smaller version a real option rather than a visibly disappointing substitute.

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.
