Pre-submit checklist

Check every item before submitting.

I've listed real commitments and tasks from my actual life (at least 8 items) — these are things I'm genuinely engaged with right now, not invented on the spot.I've scored every item on the list using the 90% Rule and written a rationale for each score — I know exactly why each item earned its number.For at least 2 items on my non-essential list (≤8), I've noted a specific action plan (exit / reduce / defer / delegate) — not a vague 'deal with it later'.I've completed a full Explore–Eliminate Three-Questions record for the one item hardest to let go of, and written my conclusion.I've created a reusable 'new-request scoring card' so that the next time a new task comes up, I can apply it directly without starting from scratch.
