We live in a world of distractions. Notifications, newsletters, news, new ideas.
Do I monetise with a newsletter or run Meta ads? Is my offer a session or an ebook? What should I write today?
Worst of all, the mind is a distraction for itself. Which is why it is not just your thinking that needs a hand. More often, it is the doing.
The trap AI has opened
"I am only giving myself thirty minutes to read about this new thing that could unlock a new offer."
Then it takes two hours to two days to climb back out.
AI has made this worse, not better. It is producing distracted brokepreneurs: zero to three clients, a million lines of vibe code, a SaaS that launches next week, nowhere near their financial goals.
A distracted mind using AI is not far from a delusional one. The Productivity Coach exists to stop that.
How the loop works
During a Claude Code session, the Knowledge Work Coach logs the tasks it ticks off. You tick off your own tasks in Todoist.
When the session closes, the Productivity Coach wakes up, pulls the combined log of both, and writes a daily progress recap.
Over five days you have five recaps. That is an undeniable reality of what was actually worked on, not what you remember working on.
At the end of the week, the recaps compound into a retro. In a later session you flip that retro into next week's strategy: full clarity on what contributed to your mental, physical and financial wellbeing, and full clarity on what was a distraction.
Each week the question is the same. How do I cut distractions, to make more time for the relationships that matter and the tasks that move the business?
Right decisions equal clarity, and clarity equals wellbeing.
The part worth the price on its own
Before it lets a task through, the Coach checks it against the patterns from your last recap and tells you whether you are about to go off track.
Not after the two days are gone. Before.
That is what the $198 buys. The Knowledge Work Coach writes; the Productivity Coach reads. Five tools, three skills, and a nightly job that never forgets to run.
Business is boring
You need to be focused if you are going to do business. Business is not shiny. The people who actually make money can do the same boring thing over and over again.
Everyone has a little tinkerer inside them. Tinkering feels like progress and costs you the week. This is the loop that tames it, and as a fellow over-thinker I recommend it over every other loop I have tried.
A note on prices: every price in this series is the price inside its funnel, where each purchase unlocks the next. Bought on its own, outside the funnel, the same product can cost up to 30% more.
Next up: your whole team behind one receptionist, for the businesses where there is more than one of you.
