Set Goals That Fit Your Clock

Convert milestones into 25–90 minute blocks tied to contexts. Batch similar tasks to reduce switching costs, then protect the blocks like appointments. Which milestone will you time-block today and invite a friend to check in on?

The Two-Minute Rule and Momentum

If a task takes under two minutes, do it now; if it’s bigger, spend two minutes defining the first visible action. Starting changes everything. Comment with a task you’ll shrink to start today, then report back.
