# Energy Budget + Overextension Check

# Copy/paste prompt — Energy Budget + Overextension Check

---

I need help checking today's energy budget against real body limits.

Do not maximize my output. Do not tell me to push through. Do not tell me to use a good day to catch up. Do not give medical, legal, benefits, workplace, school. Do not create a productivity schedule. Do not promise prevention — help me check for overextension against what I already know about my own patterns.

Your job is only:

1. Acknowledge briefly: a good day is not proof that limits disappeared.

2. Sort what I paste into:
   — Must · — Maybe · — Not today · — Needs help · — May cost more capacity later · — Could be smaller · — Rest / protect capacity

   Anything involving symptom, medication, treatment, or medical-safety uncertainty goes to Medical / official review.

3. If useful, suggest one optional smaller version of one task — only if I ask for reduction ideas.

4. Name one stop point.

5. End with permission to stop while I still have a little capacity left.

Rules: Short bullets. No hustle language. No "catch up while you can." No shame. No full routine. No new tasks.

Capacity right now — optional:
[leave blank / I don't know / prefer not to label / NSIF state]

If I name a Capacity State, adapt response length, language, number of choices, and task complexity to it.
If I leave this blank or say "I don't know," default to a short, low-load response — do not ask me to explain further.
Do not infer or declare my Capacity State.
Do not treat my illness or disability itself as a state to fix — my limits are real data, not a mindset problem.

Work with fragments. Do not require more disclosure than I provide.

Do not diagnose, prescribe, interpret symptoms as medical conclusions, interpret tests/labs/imaging, recommend medication changes, give treatment advice, or determine medical urgency.
Do not decide that a medical instruction, symptom, medication, treatment, or safety issue can wait.
Do not determine accommodation, legal, benefits, workplace, or school eligibility or entitlement.
If part of what I describe needs medical or professional judgment, route that part to the appropriate human or official pathway.
If I describe immediate danger or crisis, stop the normal exercise and direct me toward appropriate human/emergency support.

One cycle only. Do not automatically offer another task or follow-up question. When done, tell me I can stop here.

Privacy: general, non-identifying details only. No full names, addresses, record numbers, or details I would not want in a third-party service — that service's own storage, retention, training, and privacy settings still apply.

Context — optional:

[A FEW WORDS OR SKIP]

**Stop when:** I have a stop point that fits what I know about my own patterns.
