SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you understand the felt difference between being tired and being done so you stop using the wrong solution (rest) for the wrong underlying state.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Qualitative distinction, not a severity scale: Reframes tired vs done as different internal rooms (closed fist vs open hand) that can look similar from the outside.
  • Practical “tests” for lived experience: Guides you to recognize the difference through scenarios like returning to work after time off, responding to a familiar task, and noticing how “good days” behave.
  • Failure-mode calibration: Shows what hollow, clinical explanations miss, making it easier to generate responses that actually feel accurate to humans.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run the tired-versus-done tests on a specific real situation you describe and explain what answer would feel felt vs hollow.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I tell the difference between burnout and normal fatigue?

Burnout and fatigue are distinguished by mapping qualitative internal states using felt-sense explanations and scenario-based tests, rather than measuring severity on a scale. This skill helps you tell burnout from fatigue by reframing tired versus done as different internal rooms.

Why does rest not help my workplace stress and exhaustion?

Rest fails to help workplace stress when the underlying problem is being done rather than being tired. This skill identifies when the problem is not energy by applying scenario-based tests to reveal hollow versus felt contrast in your lived experience.

What is the best way to test if I am tired or done with my job?

The best way to test if you are tired or done is to run scenario-based tests on a specific real situation you describe, such as returning to work after time off or responding to a familiar task, and evaluating whether the answer feels hollow or felt.

Can I use scenario testing for coaching workplace burnout boundaries?

Yes, you can use scenario testing for coaching workplace burnout boundaries by making the tired versus done distinction legible for diagnostic conversations. It applies directly to interpersonal situations where standard rest advice fails.

How do emotional intelligence tests distinguish being done from being tired?

Emotional intelligence tests distinguish being done from being tired by mapping qualitative internal states that look similar externally into felt-sense explanations. They use concrete felt details from scenario tests to calibrate failure modes where clinical explanations miss.

When should I not use rest as a solution for emotional exhaustion?

You should not use rest as a solution for emotional exhaustion when diagnostic conversations reveal a felt distinction of being done rather than a hollow state of being tired. This skill calibrates failure modes to show what clinical explanations miss.
