Load-shedding and wellbeing: sleep, food and the workday

Load-shedding is not a vibe. It moves sleep, cooking, study and the school run. People arrive already spent, or they fall off a live session because the router died.

Design for that. Lessons that are text, five to ten minutes, and finishable on a phone will be completed. A 200 MB video will not.

Move deadlines off known outage windows when you can. Record the decision, not a speech about resilience.

Sleep takes the biggest hit: heat, noise, alarms that never rang. A team challenge about lights-out only helps if start times the next morning are humane.

In your monthly report, do not scold low participation in a week the grid was down. Annotate it. Context is part of the number.
