Deep Work Sprint

Run two timed focus blocks on one outcome, with a real break between.

We'll add these tasks after you sign up. Free, no credit card.

How it works

Shallow multitasking feels productive and ships almost nothing. A deep work sprint is the opposite: one outcome, notifications off, a timed 90-minute block, a genuine break, then a second block. This template structures the session and ends with a quick log of what you finished and what blocked you. Apply it whenever a task needs real focus instead of another fragmented day.

What you get (6 tasks)

  • Pick one outcome for the sprinthigh~5m

    Choose a single concrete result for the session. One outcome, not a list.

    #deep-work
  • Silence notifications and close tabshigh~5m

    Phone on do-not-disturb, Slack closed, only the tabs the work needs. Remove the temptation.

    #deep-work
  • Run a 90-minute focus block (timed)high~90m

    Start the timer and work only on the chosen outcome until it stops. No exceptions.

    #deep-work
  • Take a real breakmedium~15m

    Step away from the screen: walk, stretch, get water. A real break is what makes the second block work.

    #deep-work
  • Run a second focus blockhigh~90m

    Another timed 90-minute block on the same outcome. Two blocks ship more than a scattered day.

    #deep-work
  • Log what you finished and what blocked youlow~5m

    Two minutes: what got done, and what pulled your focus. The pattern is worth knowing.

    #deep-work
