# 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).

## Step 2: Schedule deep blocks

- Place **2-4 deep blocks of 60-120 minutes** at your peak energy hours
  (for most people, the first hours after starting).
- Block them on the calendar as real events — defend them like meetings.
- Single-task: one project per block. No context switching mid-block.… install to load the full skill
