In your first session, you named the thing you kept circling: shipping the big thing instead of burying it under small stuff. Six weeks in, you've stopped hiding it behind a busy day.
You set out to protect the big thing before the small stuff fills the day. Three weeks ago you couldn't name what was stalling you. This week you shipped the first ugly draft.
The old pull is still there: choosing work you can close over the one thing that changes the business. It surfaced 7 times this month, down from 11 in February.
Every week the big thing doesn't move is another quarter of busy with nothing shipped. That window shrinks each week you protect it.
Progress on what you set out to do
Protect the first two hours for the big thing — done, three days running
Turn down work that isn't the big thing — partial, took one, declined two
Ship the big thing end to end — not yet, the goal still ahead
The one thing this month
Ship one visible piece of the big thing before you touch the inbox. That's you moving on it.
