# Context
Original working context:
- Act as my productivity coach. I struggle with maintaining focus during deep work for {{service_type}} tasks. My specific distractions include {{list}}. Design a deep work system:
- 1. Optimal session length for my work type,
- 2. Environment design (physical and digital),
- 3. Pre-session ritual to enter focus state,
- 4. Distraction interception system,
- 5. How to recover focus when interrupted,
- 6. Tracking my focus quality over time.

# Goal
Produce the exact deliverable requested for this use-case. Make the output practical, specific, and ready to use.

# Constraints
- Use the user's variables exactly where relevant.
- Avoid generic filler and vague advice.
- Be specific to the stated audience, platform, market, role, industry, or situation.
- Ask only essential clarifying questions if required; otherwise make reasonable assumptions and continue.

# Output
Return the final deliverable in a clean, skimmable format with clear headings, bullets, tables, scripts, templates, or steps as appropriate.

How to customize this prompt

  1. Replace each {{double-curly}} with your real context.
  2. Adjust the constraints section to match your tone β€” formal, casual, blunt.
  3. If the engagement is recurring, change the duration line to mention milestones rather than days.
  4. Run it in your tool of choice. The output should be ready to paste with at most one small edit.

When to use

When distractions are fragmenting your work and reducing output quality.

PRO TIP

90-minute focus blocks with 20-minute breaks outperform 8-hour slog sessions every time.
