| Period | Focus | Tasks | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mon–Tue | Hardest tasks first | Most important project task | Highest cognitive energy at week start |
| Wed | Collaborative work | Meetings, feedback, reviews | Mid-week is fine for lower-focus work |
| Thu | Deep work + creation | Most important project task | Second peak of the week |
| Fri | Completion + planning | Finishing tasks + next week plan | Close loops, plan ahead |
90-min blocks suit your working style. Guard against distraction in the first 20 minutes — that's when the urge to switch is strongest.
You have 4 hours of deep work daily. That's 1040 hours/year — more than enough to produce world-class work.
Do your hardest task first. Willpower and focus are highest in the first 2 hours.
The shutdown ritual is as important as the start. It signals your brain that work is done.
Batching email to 2× daily will recover ~1 hour of focus time per day.
