Laundry, Leverage, and Other Recurring Obligations

The glamorous version of the plan never includes laundry.

It includes the launch, the trade, the flight, the dinner, and the clean photograph taken five minutes after the pile of black T-shirts was moved out of frame.

Real systems have recurring obligations. Clothes need folding. Accounts need reconciling. Assumptions need checking. None of these tasks care whether the week felt important.

Leverage becomes dangerous when it depends on a version of life with no interruptions. There are always interruptions. Some arrive as volatility. Others arrive as a basket of clothes you have been walking around for two days.

The goal is not a life without chores. It is a structure that keeps working when the ordinary parts show up.

Fold the shirts. Reduce the leverage. Continue.
