Five years of Ruby work plus under 50 hours reading neuroscience leads to a concrete claim that simple behavioral tools deliver measurable gains within weeks: improved concentration, fewer stalled tasks, and more shipped work. Specific tactics include 35/5 Pomodoro sessions, breaking tasks into tiny checklist items, using uninstall apps and password‑protected logins and Chrome blockers, scheduled remote machine blocks, breath work and short runs. A small app/blog prototype that codifies these techniques is in progress and shows early positive results.
