Why it works
- 1The project gets 30 minutes on weekdays and has no fixed time. Short sessions fit around any shift and keep the work moving.
- 2The first steps test the idea early. You text three people who would use it before you make the smallest version.
- 3The wind-down after each shift ends with the same sleep alarm. Sleep keeps energy for the job and the project.
