Continuity Over Intensity Rule — system drift against a mastermind

What mastermind does well: provides peer perspective, a recurring external commitment, and exposure to how other people solve the same problem.

What it does not do: operate between sessions, which is where the week actually happens.

Do this first. Isolation is the constraint and you would benefit from being asked about it by peers.

Do not do this. Treating the two as substitutes. A fortnightly external check and a daily internal loop are complements, not alternatives.

How did this stop running without anyone deciding to stop it? Audit each component against evidence rather than memory, and restart one at a time with a week between.

When this framework is the right one. Use it when planning a commitment you intend to keep for months, and the version you are about to commit to is the version you could do this week.

Worked example: choosing between a mastermind and a written structure for system drift

How did this stop running without anyone deciding to stop it? Isolation is the constraint and you would benefit from being asked about it by peers.

Operate between sessions, which is where the week actually happens. A fortnightly external check and a daily internal loop are complements, not alternatives.

Describe your worst plausible week honestly: illness, travel, a crisis at work.

What to measure. The component audit and the restart record.

Running Continuity Over Intensity Rule for system drift support

Effort is elastic and schedules are not. A commitment sized to a good week fails in a normal one, and each failure costs more than the extra output of the good week bought. Sizing to the worst plausible week produces a commitment that survives, and surviving is what accumulates.

  1. Describe your worst plausible week honestly: illness, travel, a crisis at work.
  2. Size the commitment so it is still doable in that week, not in this one.
  3. Write the floor version explicitly, so that on a bad day there is something to do rather than a decision to make.
  4. Let good weeks overflow, but never let the overflow raise the floor.

The full set of failure modes for this framework, the evidence to record, and a prompt you can paste are on its framework page. This page covers the part specific to system drift support.

What this is not. It is not an argument against hard work. Intensity is fine; it just cannot be the thing the system depends on.

Evidence that it is working: the component audit and the restart record.

Organizational support only. It is not clinical, legal, or financial advice.

Methodology: category-level buyer fit compared on operating structure, what each thing decides, implementation burden, and where each one stops.
