The plan

    Decide: pick ONE. Commit to it out loud. 'I am doing THIS one.'
  3. ๐Ÿšช

    Do: close every other tab and app. Only the one task remains.
  4. โฒ๏ธ
    0:12-0:13
    Do: set a 30-min timer. Single-task only. No exceptions.
  5. ๐Ÿš€
    0:13-0:43
    Do: work the task for 30 min. No tabs, no phone, no other task.
  6. ๐Ÿšถ
    0:43-0:48
    Do: 5-min walking break. Off the desk, off the screen.
  7. ๐ŸŽ
    0:48-0:50
    Do: name the Delight reward you'll claim. Say it out loud.
  8. ๐Ÿ”จ
    0:50-1:20
    Do: second 30-min block. Same task. Same single-tasking.
  9. ๐ŸŽ‰
    1:20-1:30
    Delight: claim the pre-named reward. You earned it.

Reward

A pre-named delight (coffee, a song, a walk) earned only after the Do block ends.
