Purposedifferent | For easily distracted solo work, the method sets clear time boundaries for concentrated work. It protects attention when large tasks would otherwise fall apart into small avoidance moves. | The method makes visible why two seemingly incompatible demands arise and which assumption must be tested to resolve the conflict. | With a calendar that grows on request, the method makes available time explicit again. It combines appointments, focus work, and buffer into a more realistic day structure. | The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed. |
