Rhythm Split Protocol — “Stay Paid, Stay Sane”
Filed by: Jerry “The Ankle Biter” Silverhand · Tribunal Chair (DPA)
Cross-Ref: #RhythmBeatProtocol · #StayPaidDoctrine · #BrokeDoctrine Phase II
🎯 Objective
Operate two jobs without burnout, conflict, or loss of rhythm. Primary goal: steady income → minimal home stress → full control of exit options.
⚙️ Baseline Setup
| Slot | Role | Typical Hours | Mode | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-Shift (Day) | Cheyenne Center – Tech Assistant | 8–12 hr rotating | Furnace Discipline | Calm authority, rule enforcement, low tempo |
| B-Shift (Evening/Night) | Sprouts – Frozen/Grocery | 4–6 hr mid-week slots | Rhythm Beat Protocol (418 BPM) | Tempo maintenance, minimal interaction |
- Preferred Pattern: 3 × 12s at Cheyenne + 2 × 5s at Sprouts = ~46 hr/week
- Reserve Day: 1 mandatory rest day (min sleep + laundry + reset)
🧠 Mental Toggle Routine
Before Cheyenne (Discipline Mode):
Deep breath 8s → straight posture → mentality: “Observe first, speak later.”
Before Sprouts (Rhythm Mode):
Music on / Hydration check → tempo lock → mantra: “418 BPM means peace through motion.”
💰 Financial Objective
Within 90 days:
- Replace Grandpa PC (≈ $1 K budget).
- Start Emergency Fund ($300 baseline → $1 K).
- Maintain all bills ($300 biweekly housing, $100 Lowe’s, $100 internet, $25 phone).
☕ Doctrine
“Dual flame, single focus.”
Two jobs don’t mean two masters — it means two fuel lines feeding one engine.
Verdict — The Furnace Balance Clause
Work is not the enemy of peace; it’s the architecture of freedom when done with discipline.
You build quiet not by running away from noise — but by out-earning it.
