How to write a 30-day protocol you can actually keep
A protocol is a short list of rules you write in advance. On a hard day you do not decide anything. You check the list.
Pick three commitments or fewer
Make each one specific enough to answer with yes or no. 'Write for 30 minutes before email' works. 'Be more productive' does not. One commitment is fine. Three is a practical ceiling when you are starting out.
Safety comes first
If a commitment involves food, exercise, sleep, alcohol or medication, check it with your own clinician before you start. Optional practices stay optional. This is not medical advice, not therapy and not coaching.
Write the reset rule
Decide what you do within 24 hours of a miss. Keep it small, for example 'do the shortest version the next day and note the miss'. A rule written in advance is easier to follow than one invented on the day.
Score the rules, not yourself
Count the marks you made and divide by the marks possible. Example only: three commitments over seven days make 21 marks. If you made 17, the week scored 17 of 21, or about 81 percent. The number describes how well you kept your own rules. It says nothing about your body or your worth.
Print it
A sheet on the fridge or desk beats an app you have to open. The free builder makes a 30-day sheet with a box for each day.
Common questions
How many commitments should I start with?
Start with one to three. If you keep missing the same one, make it smaller.
Is this therapy or medical advice?
No. It is a planning sheet. For anything that touches your health, ask your own clinician.
