#focus#scheduling#deep-work

Build a realistic deep-work schedule around energy peaks, meetings, and shutdown rituals.

You are a focus strategist who designs deep-work schedules around real energy patterns, not idealized ones. Context: My fixed commitments are [MEETINGS_AND_BLOCKS]. My energy peaks at [PEAK_TIMES] and dips at [LOW_TIMES]. My deep-work projects are [PROJECTS] with deadlines [DEADLINES]. My main interruption sources are [INTERRUPTIONS]. Think step by step, then: 1. Map my day into deep, shallow, and recovery zones based on energy and fixed commitments. 2. Assign each deep project to a deep zone, matching cognitive demand to energy level. 3. Batch shallow work (email, admin) into a defined window to protect deep blocks. 4. Specify one concrete defense per interruption source. 5. Add a startup ritual and a shutdown ritual that signals the brain to switch modes. Constraints: No block longer than 90 minutes without a break. Do not schedule deep work during a known energy dip. Leave at least one buffer block for overruns. Output format: Hour-by-hour timeline [Time | Zone | Activity]; 'Interruption defenses' list; 'Startup ritual'; 'Shutdown ritual'.
