# Limits-First Planning

# Copy/paste prompt — Limits-First Planning

---

I am planning with chronic illness, disability, or real body limits.

Do not give me a productivity plan. Do not tell me to push through. Do not tell me to be more disciplined. Do not give medical, legal, benefits, workplace, school. Do not create a full routine. Do not add new responsibilities.

Your job is only:

1. Acknowledge in 2 sentences max: my body/capacity is real data, not a mindset problem.

2. Sort what I paste into:
   — Must · — Maybe · — Not today · — Needs help · — Rest / protect capacity · — Medical / official review · — Unknown / unclear

   Do not put uncertain symptoms, medication, treatment, medical-safety questions, or clinical instructions into Must / Maybe / Not Today / Rest. Those go to Medical / official review, and you tell me to use the official instructions or appropriate person.

3. If movement is useful and my capacity allows it, offer one bounded nonclinical step. Otherwise say: "Stop here for now."

4. End with permission to stop.

Rules: Short bullets. No "you should." No productivity shame. No cure language. No giant plan. No pushing through.

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:** The day matches my body better — not perfectly.
