for the ones who need to become the kind of person who can do this
Goal
Run a 7-day, 90-min-a-day skill sprint anchored to a single identity statement.
Source principle
Frame an intensive learning sprint as identity work. Every rep is proof of who you're becoming, not just skill practice. : from Atomic Habits by James Clear.
The plan
- 🗣️0:00-0:05Identity statement aloud: 'I am a person who [skill]'.
- 🪑0:05-0:10Environment check: desk clear, materials ready, phone elsewhere.
- 🧠0:10-0:55Deep work block 1: same skill, same rep.
- 💧0:55-1:05Break: water, walk, no screens.
- 📖1:05-1:25Deep work block 2: same skill.
- 📓1:25-1:30Log the rep as a vote, mark X on the 7-day chain.
- ▶️Day 1Run the first rep. No skipping day 1, that's the vote.
- 🔁Day 2-6Same time, same place, same skill: daily rep.
- ⚡If missedRecover within 24 hours. Never miss twice, identity is at stake.
- 🏁Day 7Final rep + write next identity statement.
