Stop wasting your best life formatting font spacing!

Not all tasks are created equal. Some require full focus and energy, while others, like formatting fonts, highlighting notes, or copying references, can be done while watching a show, chatting with a group, hanging out in the park, or when you’re tired but still need to make progress.

By separating focused work from busy work, you can:

  • do your best work during your peak focus time

  • save low-energy tasks for off moments

  • stop feeling drained by “busyness”

The trick is to know the difference and intentionally schedule full focus tasks for full focus time.
