How to use this sheet
- Write three plans you are really living inside today, one per row: a quarter, a year or two, a decade (a job, a home, a school year).
- For each, finish the sentence "This plan works as long as..." and keep the ending you have never said out loud.
- Ask what happens if that stops being true and stays that way: what still works, what stops first.
- Name the cushion holding things up today (savings, a skill, a person, some slack) and how much time it buys.
- Pick the one plan where the gap is widest, add one margin exactly there, and set a date to look again.
The PDF is fillable: open it in a real reader (Acrobat, Preview) to type and save, or print it and write by hand. Anything you type on this page stays in your browser, nothing is sent anywhere.
