Your discipline doesn’t collapse on hard weeks.
It collapses on normal ones.

Low sleep. Low mood. Random problems.
A day that starts late.
A brain that feels like wet laundry.

That’s not an exception.
That’s your life.

Most people design their week like they’ll wake up charged, focused, and inspired.
Then Tuesday hits.
And the whole plan becomes a guilt museum.

Here’s the real problem:
You’re building a week that requires high energy to function.

So when energy drops, your system breaks.
And you call it “inconsistency.”

The shift is this:
Design the week for bad days first.
If it works when you’re tired, it’ll dominate when you’re sharp.

Concrete example.

I used to build “ambitious weeks.”
Big goals, stacked workouts, perfect mornings, deep work every day.

Then one rough night would blow it up.
I’d miss Monday, feel behind Tuesday, overcompensate Wednesday, quit by Thursday.

So I flipped it.

I built a week that assumed:

When I stopped demanding a heroic week, I stopped needing heroic motivation.

Here’s the copy/paste template:

Sauce sample (one filled line):
On low days, the only goal is: Minimum Output + Keep the chain.

Expectation: you’ll design your entire week in 10 minutes, then run it for 7 days without “starting over.”
