Design for Distraction-Free Days
Because your calendar isn’t the problem, your inputs are.
Distraction isn’t random. It’s designed into your day by default.
🧠 ONE Smart Idea
You don’t need more willpower.
You need fewer unfiltered entry points.
Most founders try to fight distraction in the moment.
But by then, it’s too late.
Because distractions are pre-installed:
Slack “just in case”
Email always open
Notifications from 9 apps
A calendar that says “buffer,” but means “catch up”
Focus isn’t something you find.
It’s something you design into your day.
📖 Story Spark
A founder I coach used to block 3 hours for “deep work.”
But every week, it vanished.
“I don’t get it,” he said.
“I block the time, but it never feels productive.”
We audited his week.
Turns out:
He checked email 17x during that block
Slack stayed open
He hadn’t defined what deserved focus that week
We redesigned the entire workday using 4 Focus Filters.
Productivity doubled.
But more importantly, so did creative confidence.
⚙️ Tactical Application: The 4 Filter Blocks Framework
Here’s how to install distraction resistance directly into your calendar.
1. Clear Block (Direction)
Before the week starts, answer:
“What’s the one thing I want this week to produce?”
Write it on your Monday calendar block.
Everything else revolves around that.
2. Shield Block (Access)
Pick 2–3 blocks during the week that are:
No Slack
No inbox
No client messages
Use Freedom, Focusmate, or “just airplane mode.”
Build the boundary. Then honor it.
3. Filter Block (Purpose)
Before you start any session, ask:
“Is this output supporting my weekly objective, or just keeping me busy?”
Delete or delay anything that doesn’t pass.
4. Close Block (Reflection)
End your day with 3 questions:
What moved the needle?
What pulled me off-track?
What should tomorrow protect?
This is how you stack signal, not just effort.
💸 Make Money With AI
Strategy: Sell themed planner bundles with built-in upsells
Steps:
Use ChatGPT to create a main planner (e.g. “30-Day Focus Tracker”)
Use Canva to design the base product
Offer 2 upsells:
A mini bonus (e.g. “Daily Deep Work Checklist”)
A related add-on (e.g. “Focus Habit Tracker”)
Sell as a bundle on Gumroad or Payhip
Bonus: Offer one item free in exchange for email capture
The bundle = perceived value. The upsells = margin.
