Focus Blocks & Meeting‑Free Days

A focus block is 90–120 minutes of protected time for a single goal. Schedule fewer but higher‑quality blocks at your peak energy hours. Meeting‑free days are only as strong as their rules: define emergencies, exceptions, and reporting. During these days, move progress via async notes only. Entry/exit ritual: 5 minutes to set intent (goal, success measure) and 10 minutes after to log (done, pending). The micro‑discipline compounds. Noise management: notifications off; batch chat/email 2–3 times per day. Keep a 'parking lot' note; never switch channels mid‑block. Measure: total weekly focus hours, completed outcomes, interruption count. Without metrics, meeting‑free days become fiction or get quietly undermined.
