Travel breaks default routines. Deep work systems are what keep important projects moving anyway.
The Non-Negotiable Morning Block
Two hours before messages, before coffee shop small talk, before planning the day. Same start time when possible.
Batching Shallow Work
Emails, scheduling, and admin live in a single afternoon slot. They do not bleed into creative hours.
Weekly Reset
Every Sunday: review priorities, choose one deep work goal, and pick the week's primary work location.
