The Protocol Library

Published protocols

The complete Mindset Classroom system contains 60 protocols. These are the protocols currently published and ready to use, with new protocols released weekly. Start with the one that matches what you need now.

01 Awareness Pause Interrupt automatic behaviour long enough to notice what is happening. Build the habit of noticing before changing. Awareness comes before change. Open protocol → 02 Needs Check Distinguish a genuine need from a preference, impulse, expectation, or borrowed desire. The Needs Check helps you identify what you actually need before deciding what to do. Open protocol → 03 Reality Check See present circumstances without denial, exaggeration, or self-condemnation. The Reality Check is a starting-point protocol: describe what is actually true before deciding what to change. Open protocol → 04 Values Compass Identify what matters and use it to guide choices. Values Compass helps you make decisions that are aligned with your values rather than simply following someone else’s expectations. Open protocol → 05 Terrain Check Recognize the conditions that shape what is realistically possible. Map your capacity, responsibilities, resources, opportunities, and social context before choosing a realistic next step. Open protocol → 06 Resource Check Recognize the strengths, people, resources, and supports already available to you. Stop solving every challenge as though you have to do it entirely on your own. Open protocol → 07 Attention Audit Notice where your attention actually goes before trying to redirect it. Track what pulls you away, what your mind returns to, and what repeatedly captures your focus. Open protocol → 08 Emotional Compass Recognize and name emotional states without automatically obeying them. Treat feelings as signals, notice what they may be pointing to, and create space before reacting. Open protocol →
