## Description

The Recovery Time Planner gives you a clear roadmap for getting your life back after hitting a wall of burnout. Instead of guessing how long you need to rest, you can plug in your current exhaustion level and tell your agent which strategy you're leaning toward, like sleeping more or completely disconnecting from work. It handles the math of recovery by projecting a total number of weeks until you hit a healthy baseline. This Connector helps you move from feeling completely drained to having a plan for Monday morning. Because it's part of the Vinkius catalog, you can pull this into your existing AI workflow to get structured, progressive plans that transition from heavy intervention to long-term maintenance. It also checks if your plan actually makes sense for your specific level of burnout, making sure you don't under-recover or over-extend yourself too soon. It bridges the gap between recognizing you're exhausted and actually changing your schedule to fix it.

## Tools

### calculate_estimated_duration
Predicts the total number of weeks required to reach a healthy baseline based on your chosen strategy. This helps you set realistic expectations for when you'll actually be ready to work again.

### evaluate_strategy_suitability
Analyzes whether your chosen mitigation strategy is appropriate for your current burnout tier. This ensures you don't under-recover or choose an ineffective path to wellness.

### generate_weekly_plan
Creates a structured, week-by-week progressive plan that transitions from intensive intervention to maintenance. It gives you a clear set of actions to follow each week so you don't have to think about it.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
I'm at a level 8 burnout. Is "sleep extension" enough to get me back?
```

**Response:** 
```
Based on your level 8 burnout, sleep extension alone might not be enough to address the structural causes of your exhaustion. I'd recommend looking at **capacity adjustment** or **total disconnection** first. Would you like me to check the suitability of those strategies for you?
```

**Prompt:** 
```
I want to take 5 weeks off to recover from a level 7 burnout. Give me a plan.
```

**Response:** 
```
Here is a 5-week progressive recovery plan based on a level 7 burnout:

- **Week 1:** Total disconnection. No work emails or Slack.
- **Week 2:** Focus on sleep and light movement.
- **Week 3:** 2 hours of low-intensity work per day.
- **Week 4:** 4 hours of work, focusing on low-priority tasks.
- **Week 5:** Transition to full capacity with a 20% buffer.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How long will it take to recover if I just disconnect for 3 weeks?
```

**Response:** 
```
For a typical burnout level of 6, a 3-week total disconnection strategy usually results in a recovery confidence score of 0.70. You'll likely reach a healthy baseline in about 4 weeks. Would you like to see a more intensive plan to shorten that timeline?
```

## Capabilities

### Predict recovery weeks
Calculate the total number of weeks required to reach a healthy baseline based on your strategy.

### Build weekly roadmaps
Generate a structured, week-by-week plan that moves from intensive rest to maintenance.

### Check strategy fit
Analyze if your chosen mitigation strategy is appropriate for your current burnout tier.

### Estimate sleep recovery
Calculate how much sleep extension will impact your total recovery timeline.

### Plan total disconnection
Create a schedule for completely stepping away from work responsibilities.

### Adjust work capacity
Map out a progressive return to work by adjusting your daily output limits.

## Use Cases

### Planning a total disconnect
A manager feels like a 9 on the exhaustion scale. They ask the agent to calculate a 4-week recovery period using total disconnection.

### Scaling back work capacity
A freelancer wants to work less but doesn't know how to scale back. They use the tool to generate a 6-week plan for capacity adjustment.

### Verifying recovery speed
Someone thinks a 2-day break is enough for a 7 burnout level. They use `evaluate_strategy_suitability` to see if that's actually enough.

## Benefits

- Get a clear timeline for recovery by using `calculate_estimated_duration` to see exactly how many weeks you might need.
- Stop guessing your next steps with a week-by-week roadmap from `generate_weekly_plan` that scales as you get better.
- Ensure your plan is safe for your current state by having `evaluate_strategy_suitability` check your strategy against your burnout tier.
- Move from vague feelings of exhaustion to a structured schedule of sleep, disconnection, and capacity limits.
- Avoid the all or nothing trap by seeing a progressive transition from intensive rest to normal work.

## How It Works

The bottom line is you get a concrete, actionable timeline for recovery instead of just feeling overwhelmed.

1. Tell your agent your current exhaustion level on a scale of 1 to 10.
2. Pick a mitigation strategy like sleep extension or capacity adjustment.
3. Get a projected timeline and a week-by-week plan of specific actions.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How can the Recovery Time Planner help me with my burnout?**
It creates a specific roadmap for your recovery. Instead of just guessing, it calculates how many weeks you need to rest and gives you a step-by-step plan to get back to work safely.

**Can the Recovery Time Planner tell me if my rest plan is enough?**
Yes, it can. You can tell your agent your burnout level and your intended strategy, and it will let you know if that plan is actually appropriate for your current state.

**What kind of recovery plans can I get from this Connector?**
You can get plans for sleep extension, total disconnection from work, or gradual capacity adjustments. It moves you from intensive rest to maintenance over several weeks.

**Is the Recovery Time Planner good for high-stress jobs?**
It's specifically designed for that. It helps people in high-pressure roles identify the structural changes they need to make to avoid crashing again.

**How do I use the Recovery Time Planner with my AI?**
You just tell your agent how exhausted you feel on a scale of 1 to 10 and what your goal is. It will then use the tools to build your custom timeline and weekly tasks.

**Will this give me a specific list of things to do each week?**
Yes, it generates a progressive plan. It tells you exactly how to transition from heavy rest, like a total break, to a maintenance phase where you're back at work.

**How do I know which burnout level I am at?**
The tool uses a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 represents mild fatigue and 10 represents extreme clinical burnout. You should assess your current state of exhaustion and physical/mental depletion.

**What are the available mitigation strategies?**
The three primary strategies are `sleep_extension` (focusing on biological rest), `total_disconnection` (mental detachment from work), and `capacity_adjustment` (structural reduction of workload).

**Can I use the tool to plan for a specific vacation period?**
Yes, by using the `generate_weekly_plan` tool with the `total_disconnection` strategy, you can see how a period of time away from work should be structured to maximize recovery.
