Planning
Setting the gate each week
Instead of planning side work from scratch each week, make one decision on Sunday: how far does the gate open?
Closed
Deadline weeks at work, travel, illness or family events. No new side work; only finish what's already promised, or ask to move it.
Half
An ordinary week. Two short sessions, for example Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Open
A genuinely quiet week. Three or four sessions, still leaving at least one evening free.
How to choose
- Look at your work calendar for the week
- Check how you slept last week
- Note any family commitments
If in doubt, choose the lower setting. It's easier to open the gate mid-week than to close it.
