What it is
Separate what must be carried now, later, by someone else, or not at all.
When it may help: When many responsibilities collapse into one impossible mass.
Minimum version
Move one burden out of “now.”
Full version
- List the burdens.
- Mark each: now, later, shared, released.
- Choose one now item.
- Ask for help with one shared item.
Object-free and accessible alternative
Use voice notes, objects, gestures, or mental labels instead of writing.
Safety, consent, and limits
Safety boundary
Do not delay urgent safety, medical, legal, or financial responsibilities without qualified guidance. This spiritual practice does not diagnose or treat illness and does not replace professional care.
