What if the fastest way to speed up… was to do less at once?

Most “busy” days aren’t productive days, they’re switching days. This book replaces multitasking with a calm, evidence-aware system that finishes work earlier and cleaner.

You’ll learn:

• The Multitasking Myth: why brains switch, not multitask, and how to erase attention residue
• WIP Limits: cap what’s “in progress” so you actually ship
• The Single-Tasking Ritual: a three-minute launch, one-tab start, and clean close
• Time Blocks that Breathe: 90/20 or 50/10 rhythms, flex blocks, backstops
• Environment by Design: visual minimalism, portable focus kit, space zoning
• Notification Triage: default alerts off, VIP carve-backs, summaries, DND windows
• Email/Chat Windows: 2–3 check blocks/day, emergency path defined
• Meeting Hygiene: one purpose (decide/inform/create/1:1), 25/50 lengths, docs-first updates
• Sequencing for Flow: match heavy work to peaks, keep a B-list for dips
• From Tab Storm to One-File Start: session sweep, research exception protocol, daily jump list
• Perfectionism & FOMO: Minimum Viable Pass + acceptance criteria
• Interruptions Protocol: Pause → Capture → Return with 60-second re-entry
• ADHD-Friendly Tweaks: shorter sprints, tactile timers, body doubling
• Tool Stack, Not Tool Sprawl: plan, store, communicate, automate, without overlap
• Energy as the Enabler: sleep anchors, morning light, crash-proof lunch
• Measure What Matters: one-minute scorecard; ten-minute weekly review
• Identity Upgrade: “I’m a monotasker” with evidence logs and monthly habit retirements
• 21-Day Challenge: step-by-step installation and three “forever” habits

Practical. System-focused. Kind. Finish faster, with calm you can feel.
