What this self-check measures
This is not a diagnosis and there is no pass or fail. It measures the current frequency, credibility, and behavioral cost of “I have to earn my rest days”, including the private rule underneath it: Only earned rest is legitimate rest. A day off without physical proof of effort is wasted time you'll have to repay. Missing the full plan means the whole plan is broken and must be compensated for through harder work next time.

Write one word next to it: scheduled.
