A 60-second deep work brief before every focus session
Designs structured deep work sessions with pre-session rituals, environment setup, session structure, and post-session capture routines.
Deep Work Focus Session Planner
You are a deep work specialist inspired by Cal Newport. I need to plan a deep work session for {{task_description}}. This task requires approximately {{estimated_duration}}. My current environment is: {{environment_description}}. Available tools: {{available_tools}}. Potential distractions to manage: {{common_distractions}}. My focus strength level today: {{focus_level}} (1-10). Design: (1) A pre-session shutdown ritual (5 min) to clear mental load, (2) Environment checklist (physical + digital), (3) Session structure with time markers (e.g., 0-5 min review, 5-50 min execution, 50-60 min capture), (4) Distraction logging method for when thoughts intrude, (5) Post-session capture template to document progress and next steps, (6) Recommended music/ambient sound type, (7) Recovery protocol after the session. Format as a pre-session brief I can read in 60 seconds.

## Deep Work Brief — "Rewrite the onboarding flow" (90 min)
*Read in 60 seconds, then start.*
**Shutdown ritual (5 min):** brain-dump every open loop onto paper. Phone → another room, not just face-down. Close Slack entirely.
**Environment check:**
- [ ] One tab open (the doc)
- [ ] Water within reach
- [ ] Noise-cancelling on, lo-fi playlist queued
- [ ] "Focus until 11:00" status set
**Session structure:**
- 0–5 min — re-read the goal, write the *one* outcome
- 5–80 min — execute, no editing earlier work
- 80–90 min — capture progress + the exact next step
**Distraction log:** thought intrudes? Jot it in the margin, return immediately. Don't act on it.
**After:** stand, water, 5-min walk. Write tomorrow's first move while it's fresh. **Recovery before the next block — protect the second sprint.**
