Field guides
Build Personal Operating System
Notes, calendar, tasks, and review rhythm beat random productivity apps.
Pick one notes hub (Obsidian, Notion, paper) and one calendar you actually open.
Capture everything in inbox; weekly sort into projects and someday.
Tasks need verbs and next physical action, not vague 'fix life.'
Daily: three priorities written morning. Weekly: thirty-minute review of calendar and finances.
Avoid app tourism—depth beats novelty.
Link notes to goals; archive dead projects quarterly.
Rebuild-focus uses this system in practice.
