The Framework

  1. One decision by 8:45 am
    Example: At 8:45 write 1 line like "Draft 700 words" on paper, set a phone alarm titled "ONE THING" for 8:45 tomorrow.

  2. 2x90 deep-work blocks before 1:00 pm
    Example: Block 9:00 to 10:30 and 11:00 to 12:30 for the single target, door closed, phone in another room.

  3. No inputs until 2:00 pm
    Example: No inbox, chat, or feeds before 2:00, batch messages in one 20 minute slot from 2:00 to 2:20.

  4. The 5 Tab Rule
    Example: Keep 5 tabs or fewer from 9:00 to 3:00, if you hit 6 close tabs to return to 5 within 60 seconds.

  5. Shutdown ritual at 5:30 pm
    Example: From 5:30 to 5:45 write 3 wins, 1 blocker, and tomorrow's exact 8:45 decision, then power the laptop off.

Enforcement: No new tasks after 6:00 pm, any missed 90 minute block is repaid at 9:00 am the next workday.

Do this today

  • By 8:45 am, choose 1 measurable target like "Outline 3 slides" or "Call 5 prospects."

  • Calendar 9:00 to 12:30 as two 90 minute sessions with a 30 minute break at 10:30, mark them busy.

  • Put phone in another room from 8:55 to 12:30, enable Do Not Disturb for 4 hours.

  • Set 2:00 to 2:20 as the only input window, archive anything older than 7 days.

  • At 5:30 log 3 wins, 1 blocker, and tomorrow's 8:45 decision, then close the laptop.

Rotating micro-device

  • One Metric: Count completed 90-minute blocks per day, score 0 to 2, hit 8 per week, reset every Monday at 7:00 am.

Cut the fluff, guard the two blocks and ship the one target.
