Principlev1
Schedule recovery practices immediately after emotionally
Schedule recovery practices immediately after emotionally intense encounters rather than waiting for depletion signals to appear.
Why This Is a Principle
This derives from Exponential Information Decay (memory decay is exponential and architectural), Directed Attention as Depletable Resource (cognitive resources deplete with use and cannot be restored through willpower alone), and Human memory under stress and cognitive load is unreliable (memory under stress is unreliable). The principle prescribes proactive scheduling rather than reactive response. It's actionable and general enough to apply across contexts while being derived from these foundational constraints.
