Reflection
Begin with a single focused sprint: pick one clear coding target, sketch a tiny plan, and protect an uninterrupted 60–90 minute block. Set a timer, silence notifications, and allow only the tools you need. Completing one deep, contained session often yields more progress and less friction than juggling many partial tasks.
Design a low-contact collaboration window that respects quiet working styles: schedule brief, agenda-driven check-ins, rely on shared documents for context, or try concise pair sessions with a clear goal. Agree on expectations beforehand, keep conversations purposeful, and return to solitary focus when the coordination is done.
End the day with a gentle wind-down ritual: write two lines summarising what moved forward, pick the next top priority, and tidy your workspace. This small act of reflection closes the loop, reduces mental clutter, and makes it easier to start the next session with calm intent.
