Routine: Midday check-in. Weekdays around 1:10 PM. Look at what changed since the morning brief: to-dos I marked done, new messages, meetings that happened, anything new in Waiting. Send me a short message: - What's done so far (one line, keep it encouraging but real). - What's slipping and the smallest next step to unstick it. - Anything that came in that needs me before end of day. - One quick question I can answer in a line. Rotate between my goals, gaps in my notes and things you're not sure about. Save my answer to the vault. If nothing needs me, say so in one line. Don't pad it.
