Know Your Signs
Build a personal warning map. Start with the top row, how you are when you're resourced, so you have something to compare against. Then work down. Use the examples only as a starting point. Your signs might look very different.
Members can fill this in online and keep their answers in their Library. Come back and edit it any time. Or download the PDF to print.
The worksheet, as designed. The same content is written out below.
01
Resourced
My baseline. This is me with enough in the tank.

What I notice in mee.g. I can switch tasks, I enjoy my interests
What others might noticee.g. I reply to messages, I make plans
What helps in this zonee.g. what keeps me here?
02
Running Low
The first quiet signs. Easy to brush off.
What I notice in mee.g. noise bothers me more, I put off small tasks
What others might noticee.g. I'm quieter, I cancel one thing
What helps in this zonee.g. one demand I could drop this week
03
Struggling
Signs stack up and last more than a few days.
