Information Diet for Engineers: Protect Focus Without Losing Out
An information diet for engineers that gates reactive feeds, batches notifications, and schedules consumption to protect focus. Stay informed on your terms.
Engineering productivity framework: six modes that turn unfocused time into momentum
Productivity isn’t one-size-fits-all. This engineering productivity framework helps you choose among six modes so your energy and context translate into real progress.
Build Momentum When Unmotivated: Small Wins, Light Accountability
When deep focus slips, build momentum when unmotivated with low-friction tasks and lightweight accountability to preserve your execution habit.
Overcome All-or-Nothing Thinking and Protect Your Momentum
Progress compounds through consistency, not perfect streaks. Overcome all-or-nothing thinking by resetting after a miss—shrink the next step, schedule tomorrow, and keep momentum.
Build Consistent Productivity Habits Anywhere
Productivity isn’t about where you sit—it’s about the habits and systems you carry. Build consistent productivity habits that make focus portable and collaboration clear.
Make Time for Deep Work: A Practical System to Protect Focus and Ship
Interrupt-driven work won’t leave space for focus unless you defend it. Learn a simple, repeatable system to make time for deep work and turn intent into shipped outcomes.
How to Protect Morning Focus: Essential, Proven Protocol
Guard your first 30 minutes by blocking inbound channels and making before you consume. Reduce attention residue and let your own thinking set the day’s direction.
Choose the Long Game: Build Momentum with Small Wins
Pick one project, ship a tiny improvement each week, and let compounding do the heavy lifting. Build momentum with small wins until traction becomes visible.
How to Ship Imperfect Work: Momentum Over Perfection
Momentum beats perfection. Learn a simple, daily 20-minute MSI approach to ship tiny, imperfect increments, get feedback faster, and keep progress compounding.
The Untied Shoe Rule to Reduce Cognitive Load for Engineers
When overwhelm hits, deliberately defer one low-impact, non-blocking task to protect focus and momentum. A simple untied-shoe rule helps reduce cognitive load for engineers so the highest-impact work moves forward.
