Before you start
If you're doing a lot, it's because someone had to.
You book the appointments. You remember the medication. You drive, you chase, you explain them to every new person, and you notice when something's off before anyone else does.
None of that is a mistake. This map is a way to see everything you carry in one place, and then pick one small thing to start handing over, sharing, or trying differently.
What you'll finish with
- A clear picture of what you carry, all on one page
- One first thing to try, sized small enough to be safe
- The words to bring it up with your young adult
- A plan for this week that fits on the fridge
Five short steps, one pen
Short on time? There's a 5-minute version inside too.
- Start with what they already do
- What you carry: sort 12 everyday tasks into hand over, share, keep or not yet
- Pick three, then ask them (with three ways to start the conversation)
- Safe enough to try? A quick risk check, and the smallest, safest slice
- Your one thing: a plan for this week that goes on the fridge
A conversation tool, not an assessment. Some things are right to keep. Some things aren't ready yet. Both are real answers here.
