Weeks 11–12 — Final stretch

The Middle Ground — Follow-Through

The last two weeks. Then Day 90.

You are nearly there. These two weeks are about consolidation — distilling what you have built into something you can carry forward past Day 90 without needing the scaffold anymore.

11 12

Which corner are you?

Week 11 — Write your personal protocol

This week, each corner writes a personal protocol — a one-page document you can return to. Not a list of intentions. A set of working agreements you have made with yourself based on the past 11 weeks of practice.

Corner One

Your Corner One protocol

Write your personal working agreements. Include: the three things you will protect, the script you will use when you are over-extended, the one person you will call when it gets heavy, the signal that tells you it is time to step back, and the one structural ask you are still pursuing. This document is yours. Keep it somewhere you will see it.
