Ritual

Start-here one-hour routine

Keep the cadence predictable so everyone shows up ready to focus.

0-8 min: setup and friction removal

Define the exact output for Pomodoro study with me sessions and remove one likely distraction before the timer starts.

8-33 min: deep sprint

Commit to one high-friction task. Capture blockers in one line instead of context switching.

33-40 min: reset and diagnose

Take a short break, review what slowed you down, and adjust the next block for your local timing.

High-value tasks to run in this format

Define one concrete output for this session before the timer starts.
Protect one uninterrupted block for the hardest item on your list.
End with a recap note and tomorrow's first action.

Common misses and fast corrections

Joining with no target outcome

Write one visible intent before the timer starts.

Trying to run marathon sessions

Start with two 25-35 minute cycles and review output between them.

Treating camera as mandatory

Keep camera optional and rely on short check-ins plus recap notes.

Ignoring post-sprint planning

End each cycle by deciding the first 5-minute action for the next one.

Simple host checklist that improves retention

Kickoff script: define one measurable session outcome.
Midpoint script: confirm focus and remove one distraction.
Wrap script: capture output and set the next start point.
