Build a 3-Item "Done" List to Transform Small Wins Into Drive Fuel
At 15:47 each workday, open a plain-text file, type the three concrete tasks you finished since noon, save, close. No folders–just evidence you moved something forward.
Wire up a physical LED timer in the war-room—watching minutes drop converts theoretical deadline into real adrenaline. A Slack bot drops progress gifs every six hours; silence triggers an auto-call to the sprint lead. ETH Zürich studies show immutable cut-offs raise focus time by nearly 30 % versus self-paced milestones.
State the falsifiable fact that could prove you wrong.
Set a Google Alert for that fact.
Set in advance the bail-out trigger (e.g., two contrary sources from non-overlapping domains).
Startup founders who stress-tested the protocol throughout product launches trimmed sunk-cost losses twenty-eight percent in 90 days (2019 MIT study).
Finish strong with Julia Galef’s 176-page field manual. Galef distinguishes "soldier" vs. "recon" defaults and finishes with a 10-minute Bayesian calculator: prior odds × likelihood ratio = posterior odds. Alumni who recorded twenty practice updates on real-life predictions jumped calibration from 38 % to 71 % accuracy before the next moon (applied-rationality alumni data).
Kick things off with Thinking, Fast and Slow—a lifetime of bias experiments proving that our minds run on parallel cognitive tracks. Quick-thinking autopilot fires off the vast bulk of daily choices via cognitive heuristics; Slow analytical mode devours just 5 percent of daily energy when forced to solve 408. Read aloud pages 44–63: the "feminist bank-teller paradox" recalibrates confirmation bias after a long weekend, a Stanford replication confirms.
Export the red rows into Trello. Label each card with a 30-day micro-target: "Craft 50 lines of Python that hit API and log JSON" or "Build one Looker Studio report from GA4 raw events". Attach a 90-minute Loom cap; whoever finishes first records the walkthrough and posts the <a href="https://Git.parat.swiss/anthony6271635">generate Direct link Google Drive</a>. The viewer must replicate the outcome within 72 h and commit the repo or dashboard URL back. Straight to merge—merge and move on.
Dog-ear the bottom corner of every page where the writer uses an analogy. After finishing the chapter, reopen those corners, mask the original comparison, and substitute a metaphor from a distant domain–Wall St for wet labs, jazz for freight. The forced remix builds remote association strength measurable on the Remote Associates Test (RAT) within 120 hours.
Log the swap in just one bullet each evening: date, replaced task, an unexpected sensory detail. After 14 logs, the stack becomes your private data set; you’ll notice which contexts predict the highest next-day ideation output, letting you prioritize the 20-minute investment to days when prefrontal fatigue is already elevated.
Turn downtime into IP: upload 4 K texture packs to Gumroad while waiting for render queues. Average monthly side income from a single metal-surface set: $1.2 k, taxed once, funds hardware upgrades without touching client revenue.
Fire off twice.
Dispatch to the agent and carbon-copy abuse@[platform].com. Request read-receipt; 35 % of initial mails are "dropped".
Watch the clock.
Platforms must act "swiftly" (roughly two business days average). If no reply in 14 days, escalate to the host (WHOIS via whois) and Adsense (report@google.com) to starve ad revenue.
Follow-up.
After removal, charge the infringer $industry rate. Include the original takedown notice as confirmation of intentional use; nearly half pay inside 30 days to sidestep small-claims filing.
Store a folder titled "DMCA_Year" with PDFs of each notice and reply; courts recognize these timestamps as proof of malicious infringement, trebling statutory damages to $150,000 per work.
Before kickoff: each participant lists three "sacred axioms" about their own role. After the flip, check how many still hold.
Measure the paper cuts: forgotten credentials, approval loops. Annualise the pain by 250 working days to reveal the bleeding.
Track lingo fails: count how many buzzwords the swapper stopped to decode. If five or more, the handbook needs plain-English surgery.
Fire up a 15-minute retro at quarter to five. Ask: "Which hand-off cracked?" Attack the top three for rewrite within 48 h.
Find the designated agent.
Query "[Platform] DMCA agent" in the U.S. Copyright Office database or check the footer "Report" link.
Save the electronic mail account ending in "@company.com"; four-fifths of rogue agents run free-webmail accounts.
Assemble the documentation bundle.
Snap the illicit post including the browser bar visible.
Record date & time via archive.is.
Dump source RAW file metadata (File → File Info in PS) showing creation date and body serial.
Draft the notice in raw ASCII.
Drop the text below, filling the brackets; keep lines under 70 characters to evade server filters.
