Protect the non-work anchors
Sleep, nutrition, and one hour of movement. I schedule these first. Everything else fits around them.
Theme your days
I theme days to reduce context switching: Monday product, Tuesday growth, Wednesday customers, Thursday team, Friday review.
Build rest into the plan
I block two deep-rest windows mid-week. Without deliberate rest, I end up doomscrolling and calling it a break.
Ruthless meeting rules
No meetings before 11am. Any meeting without a written agenda is rescheduled. This keeps mornings sacred for high-leverage work.
Watch energy, not hours
I track energy peaks and schedule the toughest work there. Working more hours while tired is fake productivity.
