  "summary": "An impressive plan that you keep avoiding has a hidden cost.",
  "kind": "protocol",
  "body": "Compare suitable methods on both effectiveness and immediate experience. Research links enjoyment with persistence in the studied activities. Use that finding to look for a workable route you can return to, not to replace the real goal with whatever feels easiest.",
  "limits": [
    "Enjoyment is not proof of effectiveness. Some necessary work remains uncomfortable; choose tolerable support rather than promising constant pleasure."

    "Identify two methods that can genuinely serve the goal.",
    "Try each on a comparable small task and check both the result and your willingness to return.",
