For each failure mode, answer these: 1. What specific behavior/pattern would I observe? (Not “task initiation issues” but “I open LinkedIn at 10am, stare at it for 5 minutes, then switch to Instagram”) 2. What would be the first warning sign? (The earliest moment I’d notice something going wrong) 3. What day/week would this typically happen? (Not “eventually” but “by day 4 of the week” or “after 2 weeks of applications”) 4. What would I tell myself to justify it? (The specific rationalization) 5. What would need to be true for this NOT to happen? (The actual concrete condition/system/support)
