Something went wrong and I want a clear head. What happened, in facts: [WHAT_HAPPENED]. What it means for my plans: [CONSEQUENCES]. What is still in my control: [STILL_IN_MY_CONTROL].

Guide me through a 30-minute reset. Step one: write the facts and my interpretations in two columns and mark which interpretations are guesses. Step two: list what has actually changed and what has not. Step three: choose the next action that is smaller than a day's work. Step four: draft a message to anyone who needs to know, under 80 words. Step five: plan something ordinary and restorative for tonight. Keep the tone steady and kind, without forced positivity. This is not therapy; if I feel unable to cope, I should reach out to someone I trust or a local support service.

Treat this as self-organisation help rather than treatment. Anything that sounds like a crisis should trigger a gentle note about emergency services and local support lines, ahead of the plan itself.
