Individual skill

deep-work-planner

Designs a daily schedule that protects deep work - classifies tasks as deep or shallow, places 2-4 focus blocks of 60-120 minutes at peak energy hours, batches shallow work into fixed windows, and defines each session with a goal, definition of done, distraction plan, and first action, plus startup/shutdown rituals and a weekly scorecard. Use when someone says "I can't get any focused work done", "plan my day around deep work", "how do I stop context switching", or wants to defend calendar time for demanding work. Do NOT use for processing an email backlog - use inbox-zero instead - or for a full task-capture system - use gtd-system instead.

# Deep Work Planner

Deep work is cognitively demanding work done without distraction. It produces
disproportionate value. This skill helps you protect and design it.

## Step 1: Classify your tasks

Sort the day's tasks into two lists:

- **Deep** - requires sustained focus, creates new value, hard to replicate
  (writing, designing, coding hard logic, strategy).
- **Shallow** - logistical, low-concentration, often interrupt-driven
  (email, Slack, scheduling, quick reviews).
