Activity Menu & Energy Ledger

Build a four-part activity menu and daily energy ledger. “Dopamine menu” is an activity metaphor, not a brain-chemistry intervention. Spoon theory, introduced by Christine Miserandino, describes variable energy, not a productivity quota. You may skip questions that do not fit or discuss them with your coach.
