Chapter 5
Protect deep work time
Treat the block as immovable
Block two 60–90 minute sessions. Put them on the calendar with start and end times.
One outcome per block is better than a heroic list.
At the end, write one sentence about what you completed.
Meetings do not get to eat the first block unless you chose that on purpose.
On a wrecked day, keep a 15–20 minute minimum. Do not treat a sick-child day as a failed streak.
Action this week
Block two sessions for the next five workdays. Treat them as immovable. Review the sentences on Friday.
