Focus for one uninterrupted hour
-
Phone in another room.
Not face down, not in a drawer. Its presence on the desk measurably taxes attention.
-
One task, written down.
A sticky note with a single sentence. Ambiguity is where drift begins.
-
Close everything else.
One window, notifications off. Every open tab is a promise to interrupt yourself.
-
Set a visible timer.
Fifty minutes. Externalising the clock stops the time-checking loop.
-
Park interruptions on paper.
Ideas and remembered errands go on a note beside you, not into action.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.
No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
