Design friction for distractions.
Log out, delete shortcuts, move the phone away. Make the wrong thing slightly harder.
habitsenvironmentattention - 03
Start with a 10 minute commitment.
Motivation follows motion. Sit down for 10 minutes; if you still hate it, you can stop.

Batch shallow work.
Email and admin get a container. Focused work gets the morning (or your best hours).
timeplanningsystems - 05
A plan is a sequence, not a wish.
Write the first, second, and third steps. If step one isn't clear, the plan isn't real.
planningclarityexecution - 06
Use music or silence, not noise.
Pick one soundscape that supports work. Avoid endless switching and algorithmic distraction.
environmentattentionroutine - 07
If you can't say no, you don't own your calendar.
Every yes is a trade. Decline quickly, kindly, and with a default alternative if needed.
boundariestimeclarity - 08
Stop mid-way to start faster tomorrow.
End sessions with a visible next step. Future-you should know exactly where to begin.
