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
