📂 Project: Dev

Session Goal

The session focused on enhancing productivity through structured automation and scheduling techniques. The aim was to integrate various automation frameworks and scheduling strategies to optimize daily workflows and system management.

Key Activities

  • Touch Rotation Framework: Developed a 90-minute distributed sampling framework to reactivate context for multiple Software Update Checks (SUCs) with minimal cognitive load.
  • Status Audit and Micro-Nudge Plan: Executed a status audit and created a micro-nudge plan for the Touch Rotation, focusing on integration and systemic stability.
  • Activation Zone Scheduling: Designed a six activation zone schedule to organize daily work, addressing potential friction points and enhancing productivity.
  • Daily Arc Doctrine: Planned a daily planning system integrating systems-engineering rhythm and cognitive-energy architecture.
  • Flow Controller Dashboard: Transformed a traditional timetable into a dependency-aware flow controller dashboard using Google Sheets.
  • Automated URL Scheduling: Implemented methods for automating URL opening in Google Sheets using cron and other scheduling tools.
  • Mechanical Nudges for Goal Awareness: Developed mechanical nudges to enhance goal awareness through non-intrusive notifications.
  • Specialist Roles for Blind Spot Mitigation: Designed roles to address cognitive blind spots and improve system accountability.
  • Automated SUC Management: Outlined a system for managing SUCs using bash scripts and systemd timers on Ubuntu/macOS.

Achievements

  • Established a comprehensive framework for structured automation and scheduling.
  • Enhanced productivity through innovative scheduling and automation techniques.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refinement of the Touch Rotation framework and micro-nudge plan.
  • Implementation of specialist roles for blind spot mitigation in the system.
