Color per type — reveals imbalance.

At your funeral in 50 years, what do you wish people said? Start it today.

Reserve a fixed time box in your calendar for each task, so it finishes on time instead of stretching forever.

Reserve a full weekday for deep work and protect it like an unmissable doctor's appointment.

Start from delivery day and reverse-engineer what must be ready each week.

Empty next week's calendar entirely, then add back only what truly deserves a slot.

Per recurring meeting: "does it produce decision/action?" — if no, kill it.

Each morning, write a schedule naming what you'll do each 15-min slot — fewer decisions, 2x output.

Disable all red count badges on app icons — they are engineered to trigger OCD reflex.

Block 2-4 "deep work" windows weekly in calendar. Treat like CEO meeting.
