Notes on Deep Work for Distracted Days
A soft structure for staying focused when your attention wants to run in every direction.
Make the Task Smaller
Focus often returns when the task becomes visible. Instead of writing "learn web development", write "build one button and make it responsive".
Use a Landing Pad
Keep one scratch note open. When another idea appears, put it there instead of chasing it.
The point is not perfect focus. The point is returning gently.
Try a 25-Minute Shape
Set one intention, remove one distraction, and work for 25 minutes. Then stop. The stop matters because it teaches the brain that focus has an exit door.
A Small Review
At the end, write three lines:
- What did I finish?
- What blocked me?
- What is the next visible step?
