The Practice

Spend the first 90 minutes today writing the thing only you can write — the strategy note, the spec, the decision memo — and do not open messages until it exists in draft. Keep a glass of water at the desk and drink before the resistance peaks; thirst masquerades as restlessness more often than you think. If your eyes drift to the tab bar, close them for three breaths and return to the cursor. Wednesdays are for making artifacts, not for answering them.
