Rx #19,256 Self-Image & Ego

Prescribed

Numeratio Actuum

(Count of Acts, rendered visible)

Dosage	One (1) written list of every small thing patient did today, before bed
Frequency	Daily
Duration	Until 'am I even trying' is no longer the question
Refills	Unlimited — the effort is invisible to patient, not absent

Side effects May include the specific surprise of a 22-item list, the phantom urge to discount each item as 'not counting,' and — by week two — the observation that what patient considered 'not trying' has, apparently, been most of the trying.

The private dictionary in which 'trying' means only things that happen to strangers online

What is this?

Prescription Numeratio Actuum belongs to the Institute Pharmacy's catalog of non-pharmacological interventions. The dosage is fictional. The intervention it describes is not. Patients who follow it tend to observe the predicted side effects.

The pharmacy's plain-language rendering is Count of Acts, rendered visible. The Latin is for the slip; the English reading is for filling it at home.
