deep-productivity
Master deep work with a three-part framework: 1 hour daily of Building, balanced with Maintenance and Recovery.
- Establish sustainable productivity through a 90-day transformation sequence: diagnose focus state, define vision and anti-vision, build a 10-year-to-daily goal hierarchy, and apply project-based learning to close skill gaps
- Identify lever-moving tasks that actually progress goals using the challenge-equals-skill principle, avoiding both anxiety (challenge too high) and boredom (challenge too low)
- Balance focused work sessions with structured recovery time—walking, reading, daydreaming—to activate the Default Mode Network and generate breakthrough ideas
- Includes decision tree for determining which stage you're in (pre-foundation, foundation, building, or maintenance) and a daily deep work protocol with pre-session, during-session, and post-session steps
Deep Productivity Mastery
Transform your life with just 1 hour/day of focused building work. This skill applies the three types of work framework—Building, Maintenance, and Recovery—to help you create meaningful progress toward your goals.
When to Use This Skill
- User wants to build something meaningful (business, creative work, personal project)
- User struggles with focus, distractions, or unclear priorities
- User has limited time (1 hour/day) and wants to maximize impact
- User feels stuck in "doing mode" without real progress
- User wants to design a sustainable productivity system
Core Framework: Three Types of Work
Before diving into workflows, understand the three types of work:
- Building - Intense bursts of deep work to bring a project to life (products, services, brands, skills)
- Maintenance - Consistent, often repetitive work to keep what you built alive (marketing, customer service, operations)
- Recovery - Rest, leisure, and lack of narrow focused stress that allows breakthrough ideas to form
