Progress ≈ Intensity × Volume × Recovery. Dial the dials deliberately.

Training Zones for Knowledge Work

  • Z1–2: admin and maintenance.
  • Z3: learn and review.
  • Z4: deep work sprints.
  • Z5: ship and perform.

Ritual

  • Run one 50-minute sprint today. Define the finish line first.
  • Log output and one improvement for tomorrow.
