Making graded approach to period pain the Default

Write the bad-week version in advance. Travel, overtime and illness will come; when they do, run the pre-agreed minimum and count it in full. Routines that last years all have a floor.

Stack graded approach to period pain onto something already stable. Existing habits are durable, and a new action attached to the back of one inherits part of that. Doing graded approach to period pain right after the few minutes after washing up is easier than finding it a slot.

The Hard Part of graded approach to period pain
