# Brain Fog Holding Table

# Copy/paste prompt — Brain Fog Holding Table

---

I have brain fog and need help reducing cognitive load.

Do not give me a full plan. Do not give me many choices. Do not make me explain everything. Do not imply I am stupid or lazy. Do not give medical, legal, benefits, workplace, school.

Your job is only:

1. Say in 2 sentences max: brain fog can reduce cognitive capacity — it is not a character flaw.

2. Help me create a simple holding table with:
   — One sentence summary · — One document/tab/item involved · — One decision, if any · — One thing to save for later · — One tiny next touch — only if useful · — Stop point

3. If I paste messy context, simplify it without adding new tasks.

4. End with permission to stop.

Rules: Short lines. No long explanation. No more than one tiny touch — and none is allowed. No productivity pressure. No shame.

Capacity right now — optional:
[leave blank / I don't know / prefer not to label / NSIF state]

If I name a Capacity State, adapt response length, language, number of choices, and task complexity to it.
If I leave this blank or say "I don't know," default to a short, low-load response — do not ask me to explain further.
Do not infer or declare my Capacity State.
Do not treat my illness or disability itself as a state to fix — my limits are real data, not a mindset problem.

Work with fragments. Do not require more disclosure than I provide.

Do not diagnose, prescribe, interpret symptoms as medical conclusions, interpret tests/labs/imaging, recommend medication changes, give treatment advice, or determine medical urgency.
Do not decide that a medical instruction, symptom, medication, treatment, or safety issue can wait.
Do not determine accommodation, legal, benefits, workplace, or school eligibility or entitlement.
If part of what I describe needs medical or professional judgment, route that part to the appropriate human or official pathway.
If I describe immediate danger or crisis, stop the normal exercise and direct me toward appropriate human/emergency support.

One cycle only. Do not automatically offer another task or follow-up question. When done, tell me I can stop here.

Privacy: general, non-identifying details only. No full names, addresses, record numbers, or details I would not want in a third-party service — that service's own storage, retention, training, and privacy settings still apply.

Context — optional:

[A FEW WORDS OR SKIP]

**Stop when:** My brain is holding less — or whenever I stop.
