Deep work doesn't happen by accident. It's built on an environment that makes it easy.
1. Define a clear start
A ritual makes all the difference: coffee, headphones and a tap on the block. Your brain learns that this means time to focus.
2. 90-minute blocks
Work in long blocks with a concrete goal and take real breaks between them, away from screens.
3. Put the unlock far away
Leave the block in another room. The farther away, the less temptation.
4. Review at the end of the day
Write down what you finished. Seeing progress reinforces the habit more than any app.
