The Self-Prescription

A prescription pad where you're both the patient and the prescribing physician. An intake box takes the chief complaint — the thing that's actually wrong, said out loud. Then three Rx lines written like medication, because they are: "One 20-minute walk, outdoors — twice daily — with or without motivation," each with a SIG line, a duration, a 14-dose adherence strip, and a write-in line for reported effects. The side effects are fixed in ink (may include improved mood, earlier bedtimes, and unsolicited energy; if symptoms of wellbeing persist, continue treatment), a warning box names what usually makes you quit the regimen, and the signature line is yours — M.D., Me Deciding. Refills: unlimited. No pharmacist required.

Best for: Writing down the three things you already know would help — in doses small enough to actually take.

A prescription pad where you're the patient and the physician.

An intake box for the chief complaint, then three Rx lines written like medication — remedy, SIG, duration — each with a 14-dose adherence strip and a "reported effects" line. A deadpan side-effects box is fixed in ink (may cause improved mood and unsolicited energy), a warning box names what usually makes you quit, and you sign the whole thing yourself. Refills: unlimited.

How it works

One remedy per line, up to three, written like a pharmacist would: remedy | how often | for how long. Keep the doses small — "one 20-minute walk, twice daily" outperforms "get fit" every time it's tried.

You already know what helps. This just puts it in writing.
