Focus session for planning: 90 minutes, vinyl crackle, when you are somewhere noisy

90 minutes of planning, with vinyl crackle and a note on what to do when you drift.

90:00

Press start. The timer keeps time so you do not have to look at a clock.

Let your eyes soften. Not closed, just less busy. Noise is fine. You are not trying to hear anything subtle. No preamble. We start with the body.

1 Before you start

Turn off notifications for the next block, not just to silent.
Remember that motivation usually arrives after starting, not before.
Clear the surface in front of you down to the thing you are working on.
Give yourself permission to stop when the timer ends, even mid-sentence.
Put your phone in another room, or in a drawer you cannot reach without standing up.

When you catch yourself re-reading the same sentence, stop and write down what you were looking for.
If nothing is working, write badly on purpose for two minutes.
If you are suddenly sleepy, stand up for ten seconds and sit back down.
When the timer feels too long, look at it less. The clock is not the task.

Roll your shoulders and your neck before the next block.
Resist the urge to review the work straight away. Come back to it later with fresh eyes.
Say the session is finished, out loud if you can. It marks the boundary.

vinyl crackle — A thin layer of surface noise over nothing much. Just enough texture to stop the room feeling empty.
