The NAP Collective — concept

Understand your patterns. Build systems that fit your life. Feel less alone doing it.

The Collective is the proposed membership level: everything in NAP Premium, plus a private peer community, monthly planning sessions, founder office hours, and practical workshops. It is intended as a higher subscription with a monthly and an annual option, and community access will only ever come from a verified membership record rather than from a label on this page.

None of it is active. There is no NAP community on Discord, Circle, Mighty Networks, or anywhere else. No provider has been chosen, no membership is on sale, and no member count, event, or conversation on this page is real — because none exists yet.

Positioning

What it is for

Understand your patterns. Build systems that fit your life. Feel less alone doing it.

Premium tools, shared experience, practical workshops, and a community that understands. The tools are the easy part; the third sentence is the reason this level is being considered at all.

Membership

What membership may include

Every line below is a proposal. Read the labels.

  • Planned

    Everything in NAP Premium

    The recaps, advanced planning modes, custom reports, and premium downloads — whenever Premium exists.

  • Requires Provider

    A private peer community

    Somewhere to talk with people who already understand the calculation behind a normal-looking day.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Monthly group planning session

    Plan the month ahead together, out loud, with the option to stay on camera-off and quiet.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Monthly founder office hours

    An open hour with Anne to ask practical questions about planning, work, and tooling.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Work and career roundtables

    Disclosure, accommodations, meeting load, freelancing, and interviews — from people doing it.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Travel conversations

    Flights, time zones, work trips, and the days after. Planning, not advice.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Quiet coworking and body-doubling

    Shared silence with the camera optional, for the tasks that are easier alongside someone.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Rest-positive community events

    Sessions where rest is the point, not a confession.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Guest educational speakers

    Sessions from people with genuine, verifiable expertise. No speaker is booked, and none will be named before they are.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Practical workshops

    Working sessions that end with something you can use — a template, a plan, or a script.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Workshop replay library

    Recordings, for the days a live session is not possible.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Member-created templates

    Day shapes made by members, shared by choice, credited how the maker wants.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Community recommendations

    Practical things members actually rate, kept separate from anything sponsored.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Product testing

    First look at unfinished tools, with the rough edges left visible.

  • Planned

    Member discounts

    Reduced pricing on workshops and future NAP products.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Optional accountability partners

    Opt-in pairing, easy to leave, with no streaks and no reporting on each other.

  • Requires Community Launch

    Community story opportunities

    A route to sharing your story publicly if you want to — never a requirement of membership.

Where it would live

An externally hosted community, chosen in the open

NAP will not build custom real-time chat. A community would be hosted by an outside provider, and the choice has not been made. These are the candidates being weighed.

  • Requires Provider

    Discord

    Why it might fit: Lowest friction for a small founding-member pilot, and familiar to many people already.

    The trade-off: Fast-moving, noisy by default, and harder to keep calm and searchable. Weaker fit for a paid, structured membership.

  • Requires Provider

    Circle

    Why it might fit: Structured, branded membership with spaces, events, and clearer moderation tooling.

    The trade-off: A platform cost from day one, and another account for members to create.

  • Requires Provider

    Mighty Networks

    Why it might fit: Courses, events, and community in one place if workshops become central.

    The trade-off: Heavier than a pilot needs, and more product to learn before anything is proven.

What would never cross the boundary

  • No journal entry, plan, task, report, imported file, or wearable reading is ever sent to a community provider — automatically or otherwise.
  • A community provider would receive only what is strictly needed to grant access, and only after you join and consent.
  • Community posts live on the community platform and are separate from your private NAP data.
  • Your NAP account and a future community account can be deleted independently, and deleting one never requires keeping the other.
  • Access would be checked against a verified membership record on NAP's server — never a flag the browser can set.

Safety & scope

What a community is, and what it is not

This section is not fine print. It is the boundary that makes peer conversation safe enough to have.

It is

  • Peer conversation
  • Practical support
  • Shared lived experience
  • Education
  • Social connection

It is not

  • Medical care
  • Therapy
  • Crisis support
  • Diagnosis
  • Treatment advice
  • Medication advice
  • Emergency monitoring

Rules that would be non-negotiable

  • Diagnosing another member
  • Telling someone to start, stop, increase, decrease, or combine a medication
  • Treatment or supplement spam
  • Harassment
  • Discrimination
  • Unsolicited direct messages
  • Sharing another member's story outside the community
  • Scraping or collecting member information
  • Affiliate promotion without prior approval
  • Claiming professional credentials you do not hold
  • Relying on the community for crisis or emergency response

Moderation, as a concept

  • Concept

    Report

    Any member could report a post or a person, with a written record of what was reported and when.

  • Concept

    Block

    Blocking would be one-sided, immediate, and invisible to the person blocked.

  • Concept

    Moderation

    Human moderators working to published rules. Moderation would not be continuous — there is no 24-hour cover, and none would be claimed.

  • Concept

    Removal

    Removing a post, restricting an account, or ending a membership, with the reason stated to the person affected.

  • Concept

    Appeal

    A written route to contest a decision, reviewed by someone other than the moderator who made it.

NAP would not claim 24-hour moderation, and a community must never be anybody's crisis plan. If you are in danger or cannot stay safely awake, that needs real-world help, not a forum.

Member privacy

What a member would control

Membership should never cost you privacy about your health.

  • Use a display name instead of your real name
  • Limit who can see your profile
  • Choose whether direct messages are allowed at all
  • Decide whether you appear in a member directory
  • Leave the community without leaving NAP
  • Request deletion of your account and your community access
  • See exactly which external platform hosts the community
  • Understand that community posts are separate from your private NAP data

Never on a member profile by default

  • Diagnosis or diagnostic status
  • Journal entries
  • Tasks and plans
  • Sleep, nap, or rest information
  • Reports
  • Connected data sources
  • Wearable readings

Programming — concept only

A month, if one existed

A sample rhythm to argue with. Nothing is scheduled, nobody is booked, and no guest or partnership is named because none has been arranged.

  • Concept

    First Monday

    Plan the Month You Actually Have

    A shared planning hour: capacity first, commitments second.

  • Concept

    Second Wednesday

    Quiet Coworking

    Cameras optional, microphones off, one small task each.

  • Concept

    Third Thursday

    Work and Career Roundtable

    Disclosure, accommodations, and meeting load, discussed as peers.

  • Concept

    Fourth Sunday

    Monthly Reflection

    What you noticed this month, described rather than scored.

  • Concept

    Quarterly

    Travel and Recovery Workshop

    Planning a trip and the days after it.

  • Concept

    Quarterly

    Supporting Someone With Narcolepsy

    A session for partners, family, friends, and colleagues.

  • Concept

    Occasional

    Guest educational session

    Only with a genuinely qualified guest. No names until one is actually booked.

Access

How membership access would actually work

  • Access would be granted from a verified membership record held on NAP's server, not from anything the browser can set or edit.
  • If you ever join, a community area appears in your account with the link and the name of the platform hosting it. Until then it says so plainly.
  • Leaving the Collective would end community access and nothing else. Your planner, journal, and exports are unaffected.

Hear about it if it opens.

One letter if the Collective ever becomes real, with the platform and the price written plainly. No waitlist that takes money.

Issues are not being sent yet — signing up records your address for the first one. Only your email address is stored. No tracking profile, and NAP does not sell it.
