A stack you cannot describe is a stack you cannot review
Most people can name what is in the cabinet. Almost nobody can tell you what they actually took this week, at what time, and how they slept next to it.
That gap is why stacks feel like superstition. You change two things, sleep four hours, have a brutal work week, and then decide the new capsule "is not working."
A useful journal is boring on purpose:
Same substance name every time
The dose you already use, with units
Taken or missed, no guessing later
One sentence on effect, the same day
Cycle, sleep, and stress as context, not as a diagnosis
Once a week, read seven days and write one sentence you could hand a clinician. That is the whole review.
Stacked is that journal. The Stack Playbook is the blank templates we use inside it. Not medical advice. Not a protocol. Just a way to stop lying to yourself about what the week looked like.
