Deep Work · Streak Tracking · Stay Locked In
| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
| Phone in another room | Even seeing it reduces cognitive capacity by 10% |
| Close all tabs except work | Each open tab is a pull on attention |
| Block distracting sites | Use Freedom, Cold Turkey, or Focus |
| Tell people you're unavailable | Interruptions cost 23 min to recover focus |
| One task only | Multitasking is a myth — it's rapid context switching |
| Duration | Best For | Skill Level |
|---|---|---|
| 25 min | Getting started, building habit | Beginner |
| 50 min | Solid work blocks | Intermediate |
| 90 min | Deep creative/analytical work | Advanced |
