Your state
Why it matters.
Hungry decisions are expensive decisions. One planning hour a week buys back money, health and the 7pm dread.
The component skills.
Practise — activities that produce artifacts.
Plan five real dinners ~20 min
Write five dinners your household will actually eat, matching what's in season and on offer. Pin it where you'll see it at 6pm.
Artifact: The five-dinner plan, pinned
Shop once against the plan ~60 min
Build the shopping list FROM the plan, buy nothing off-list, and note the total. Compare it to last week's spend.
Artifact: The list + the spend comparison
Missions — do it for real.
Mentors for this capability.
Matched from real, opted-in Lifelong Careers members through the Mentor Intelligence Network — with their trust states shown as stored. Source-listed is not the same as verified.
No opted-in mentors match this capability yet — none are invented. See the Mentors view or the full directory.
How assessment works.
Every submission gets a transparent first-pass against the mission's rubric — what was looked for and what was observed. Verified state requires a real review; the system never upgrades self-reported evidence on its own.
accuracy
Concrete numbers, units and exact values instead of vague amounts
completeness
All parts of the task covered — nothing skipped or assumed away
discipline
Consistency over time: dates, repetitions, streaks kept
evidence_quality
An observable artifact: worksheet, receipt, photo reference, recording note
follow_through
What happened afterwards — the result and what changed
process_correctness
Steps done in a sensible order, nothing skipped
self_awareness
Honest signals: what you noticed, what was hard, what you'd change
Accepted evidence: mission_submission, mentor_review, observed_application, work_sample.
Stated plainly — what this doesn't do
- — Submissions are private, self-reported evidence — they never become verified without a real review.
- — Mentor review for capabilities arrives in a later phase of this module.
