Cadence Home · The Friction Log
Catch what’s breaking — before it’s the conversation no one wants to have.
A lightweight log for the small things that go wrong in a week. Two clicks to add an entry. Reviewed in your Sunday Reset, your Quarterly Review, or never — the point is that it’s captured so it doesn’t have to live in someone’s head.
The 8 wastes, applied to home life
- Waiting. Time waiting on something that should have been ready
- Rework. Doing the same thing twice because it wasn’t right
- Transport. Extra journeys, unnecessary movement
- Stockpile. Buying / hoarding / running out — supply mismatch
- Steps. Looking for things, hunting for items, repeated journeys around the house
- Overdoing. Cooking too much, buying too much, over-planning
- Defects. Something done wrong — wrong day, wrong size, wrong place
- Unused skill. One of us could have, but didn’t get asked
