Deep work studio
Deep work sessions work best with a visible contract: start time, end time, and the artifact you will produce. This page keeps both on the same screen.
Time blocks + expected output
| Block | Duration | Expected output |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture pass | 75 min | Decision log with 3 options + pick |
| Drafting | 50 min | 800-word rough section |
| Code integration | 90 min | PR with tests green locally |
Promotion-ready blocks: headline, duration, deliverable — easy to excerpt for newsletters.
Sample session timeline
0:00–0:05 — Set outcome sentence; close tabs.
0:05–0:50 — Primary work; distractions logged on paper only.
0:50–1:00 — Save, tag tasks, note carry-over.
Example — Input: 45 productive minutes / 50 scheduled minutes
Calculation: 45 / 50 × 100 = 90
Output: "Effective ratio — shorten preambles, keep length"
Calculation: 45 / 50 × 100 = 90
Output: "Effective ratio — shorten preambles, keep length"
Quality guardrails
Avoid vague outputs like “make progress.” Replace with binary checks: file saved, checklist updated, message sent. Deep work is a production practice — not a mood.
