YOUR INNER MACHINE NEEDS TO RECHARGE.
You don’t burn out because you’re weak.
You burn out because you keep trying to run high-power tasks with 4% battery.
A system crash is predictable. And preventable.
Let’s take a look at how we can combat burning out in the first place.

🚨 OKAY BACK TO TOPIC 🚨
Bare-minimum days aren’t setbacks.
Just like your phone has Low Power Mode, you need one too.
Your consistency dies when you confuse “slowed output” with “no output.”
When you design your low days like a system, you stop breaking down.
THE BARE-MINIMUM SYSTEM
1. Identify the essential tasks
Strip your day down to 1–3 non-negotiables.
Not the shoulds. The ones that need to be done.
2. Reduce task intensity, not task impact
Same tasks, lighter version.
Answer DMs? → 10 mins only.
Write? → 5 lines.
Post? → 1 simple thought.
You get the idea… You’re not doing zero. But you’re doing 3 instead of 15.
3. Automate whatever your brain resists
Use templates, routines, saved workflows, presets.
Repurpose old content so you have to put in less effort.
Low Power Mode can run on prebuilt systems.
4. Change environments instead of forcing motivation
Move your a**. Go somewhere different.
Take a half day or a remote day if possible.
Café → beach → car → quiet corner of a burger joint…
A change of scenery can do absolute wonders!
5. End the day with a reboot ritual
Not a reward. A reset.
Drive. Music. Bath. Walk.
Pick your poison.
Shut down properly so tomorrow feels like a better day when you wake up.

IF YOU USE AI, HERE’S A PROMPT YOU CAN USE
BARE MINIMUM MODE PROMPT
I’m in low-power mode today.
Design a simple, efficient workflow using these rules:
→ Only keep 1–3 essential tasks
→ Convert every task into its lowest-energy version
→ Create shortcuts, templates, or automations wherever possible
→ Suggest an environmental swap that boosts creative output
→ Keep the plan skimmable, bold, and under 8 lines
→ Tone: direct, mechanical, optimized
Output the final workflow like a system update log.
Low-energy days don’t destroy your consistency;
However, ignoring them and pushing it too much could definitely lead to it.
When you engineer a lighter workflow instead of forcing a heavy one, you keep your momentum alive.
And movement compounds.
