This lesson builds up on tools we've already started using, namely Cold Turkey and the calendar, for distraction free time blocks.

Now that you've defined some "Fortress" time blocks, you can use Cold Turkey to automatically block distractions during that time. Think of it like we’re further reducing friction and making it even easier to get in the zone and work with deep focus.

In addition, now is a good time to add some weekly, monthly and quarterly recurring reviews into your schedule.

Action Steps

Replicate your Fortress time blocks from your calendar in to Cold Turkey.
In your calendar, add weekly, monthly and quarterly "review" tasks/reminders.
What other recurring tasks do you have? Unload anything else you can to the calendar. This way it's managed there and you don't have to carry it around in your head anymore.
