The 2-Minute Clearer-Head Check
Score it when it is worst.
Circle the type the check gave you. Run that row only. Score fog at the time that row says — not “whenever.”
The first hour — fog is worst right after sleep. Softer alarm if you can. Outdoor light in that first hour. Score fog before you have been up an hour. If Friday has not moved, the next lever is the night before.
The unset morning — later-morning is set by real outdoor light in the first hours after you wake. A window is not enough. Score around 11.
The mid-morning drop — water before anything else. Coffee after an hour, not in the first minutes. Notice what a usual breakfast does. Score after breakfast / around 11.
Put this where you'll see it — glass out. Back door, not the window. Sheet by the kettle.

Fog: 1 = clear, 5 = thick. Energy: 1 = flat, 5 = enough.
The numbers, not the story
Fog dropped and you ran the test — keep it.
First hour, nothing moved — look at the night before, not breakfast.
Unset morning, nothing moved — check the light was outdoor, not a window.
Mid-morning drop, nothing moved — food and coffee timing, not try harder.
Most boxes blank — run it next week before you change anything else.
