🩹 Sustainability & resilience
🔋 Burnout guard
You work ~7 days most weeks (concreting Mon–Fri + pizza Fri/Sat + build Sat–Sun + a nightly stream). Rules to last 100 days:
- Mondays = recovery — ingest + stream only, early night (built into the schedule).
- Bank a real rest block each fortnight — a Sunday afternoon off or an occasional concreting day-off.
- Nightly stream cap — keep it to the hour; some nights just talk + log, no extra work.
- Crunch weeks (W8 night test, W10 pond, W14 finale) — keep the weeknights either side light.
🟡 Contingency & float
The 100 days are fully booked, so build in slip-resilience:
- Float = your occasional concreting day off — use it to catch up when behind.
- Weather slips bump to the next free dawn or the following weekend (see each day's rain plan).
- Most slack: the 3-week frame phase (W2–4) and the launch run-up (Oct 12–13).
- Tightest: W10 pond & W14 finale — protect with volunteers; don't let earlier weeks eat into them.
💾 Footage backup (3-2-1)
100 days of footage is irreplaceable — no single failure can end the project:
- 3 copies · 2 local drives (working + mirror) · 1 offsite/cloud.
- Daily: ingest + dual-local backup (on every day's Edit list).
- Weekly (Mondays): push last week's footage to the offsite/cloud copy (built into Monday Edit tasks).
- Hero takes (e.g. Day 56 first-water) — copy offsite the same night.
