for the scattered learner who can start things but never finishes a skill rep

Goal

Run one 90-min sprint that builds momentum through tiny reps and lands a finished one.

Source principle

Focus + Drill: start absurdly small, ramp difficulty, and finish one real rep. : from Ultralearning by Scott Young.

The plan

  1. 🪶
    0:00-0:05
    Set up: one task, one tab, timer. Kill notifications.
  2. ✂️
    0:05-0:10
    Cut the task to the smallest possible rep. Absurdly small.
  3. 📝
    0:10-0:20
    10-min easy warm-up version. Just to start moving.
  4. 👁️
    0:20-0:25
    5-min distraction log. Write what pulled you. No judgment.
  5. 🚀
    0:25-0:45
    20-min focused rep. Easy gear. Same task.
  6. ☕
    0:45-0:50
    5-min rest. Water, walk, no phone.
  7. 🔧
    0:50-1:10
    20-min drill rep. Push difficulty up one notch.
  8. 🏁
    1:10-1:20
    Finish the rep. Ship the small artifact. Done counts.
  9. 📊
    1:20-1:25
    Score attention 0–10. Did you finish?
  10. ✅
    1:25-1:30
    One-line note: 'I finished ___.' Log it.

Reward

10 min of guilt-free phone time after the rep ships.
