Prompt
Answer limit
Scoring rule
1. Single sentence the finished piece must prove
25 words max
Delete every scene/loop/verse that does not advance this exact sentence
2. Target reader & exact moment they will use it
15 words
If you can’t name a real person, bin the draft
3. Metric that will spike within 7 days of release

No number = no milestone; park the file
4. Personal payoff once metric hits
10 words
If the payoff is vague, the grind will stall again

Build a blank avatar 1:1 1080px canvas, 3-color minimal glyph; update the bio to "Something’s cooking–announcement soon" plus a master link. Feature one fifteen-sec replay showing the icon pulse; this ticks platform "active user" rules and prevents deletion for inactivity (Twitch purges accounts after 12 months of zero streaming).

Go public only after the third confirmation email hits; 82 % of name conflicts pop up within the first hour of going public. If a fan grabs a variant, offer $50 via PayPal Goods & Services–beyond that price, submit UDRP ($1.5k) instead of rewarding scalpers.

Jot a 3-Line Journal Entry While Barefoot to Anchor New Concepts
Plant yourself on raw soil, grass, or sand; note the pinpoint temperature, texture, and moisture against your soles. Write three lines: first, the physical sensation (e.g., "28 °C grains shift under arch"); second, the mental image triggered (e.g., "dune crests resemble code loops"); third, the action you will take within 24 h (e.g., "prototype looped animation at 11:00").
When prepping a 70 × 70 × 180 mm carton dieline, anchor the pattern fill at 0.3× magnification on outside surfaces exclusively; keep a 5 mm buffer from crease lines to sidestep cracking after the die-cut. Include a 1 mm bleed and enable overprint on the spot channel so the veins emboss cleanly when hit by a magnesium die at a toasty 110 °C, 400 kPa, 0.3 s dwell. Test on a Komori Lithrone G29 with standard water-ink balance; the 175 lpi screen holds 6 pt reversed type without fill-in.
