Sprouts Ledger — The Early Hour Doctrine
Date: October 29, 2025

Cross-Ref: Rhythm Beat Protocol · Wavelength Check Doctrine
Scene:
Taco Cabana, one hour before clock-in. Time to spare, brain at ease, rhythm intact. Not rushing, not scrambling — just existing early.
Observation:
Being early isn’t about perfectionism; it’s about control. You’ve already proven you can handle chaos — this is proof you can also handle stillness. That quiet hour is the unsung victory: no clock anxiety, no last-minute rush, just space to breathe and center before the next beat drops.
Verdict — The Early Hour Doctrine:
Peace arrives to those who move faster than panic.
To be early is to declare: “The world won’t dictate my tempo — I will.”
