Default Back to work plan

I will be starting back to work next week.

Due to my ongoing cognitive problems, my duties have been divided into 5 levels of complexity. This is to allow me to learn ways to accommodate my deficits - I can not progress to the next level of duties until I can successfully complete the tasks in the current level.

Here is the plan:

Week 1 - 4 hours/day Monday, Wednesday, Friday - Level 1 duties
Week 2 - 4 hours/day Mon,Tues, Thurs, Fri - Level 1 duties
Week 3 - 4 hours/day Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri - Level 2 duties
Week 4 - 6 hours/day Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri - Level 2 duties
Week 5 - 6 hours/day Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri - Level 3 duties
Week 6 - 8 hours/day Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri - Level 3 duties
Week 7 - 8 hours/day Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri - Level 4 duties
Week 8 - 8 hours/day 5 days - Level 4 duties
Week 9 - 8 hours/day 5 days - Level 5 duties

This progression can be slowed down or stopped at any time if my symptoms worsen.

Just wanted to share this in case something similar could be used for other return to work plans.
