01Understand what you mean by tired
The chapter separates sleepiness, alertness, and motivation so the same word does not lead to the same response every time.
Part 6 · Pages 71–85
Start with the shape of your day.
The afternoon slowdown. A task that takes longer than it should. A day that leaves little room for anything else. The guide helps you describe the pattern before choosing a practical place to act.

A FAMILIAR FRICTION
When a useful idea has nowhere to fit.
You may have tried another productivity routine, pushed through the afternoon, or moved everything important to the morning. The missing piece may be a realistic picture of your own day.
The method begins with your starting point: what your day looks like, which constraint matters, and which small action could realistically have a place.
WHAT YOU’LL EXPLORE
Energy & alertness, in context.
01
02Look at timing and context
Explore the place of a regular start, daytime light, movement breaks, meals, and demanding tasks in an ordinary day.
03Choose one place to act
Use your day map and energy-dip notes to select a practical candidate, then give it a cue and a smaller version.
04Review what fits
Record what happened and decide whether the action deserves a place in the following week.
THE SAME METHOD, APPLIED HERE
Watch. Choose. Keep.
WATCHNotice a moment when attention or energy feels lower. Write down the time, setting, and what happened.
CHOOSEChoose one manageable change in the surrounding routine. Give it an existing cue rather than a vague intention.
KEEPReview whether the action fitted your day and whether you want to repeat, adjust, or drop it.
New, persistent, unexplained, or concerning tiredness deserves professional advice. The guide does not diagnose fatigue.
Connected to the rest of your day.
