So I've been using Superwork with great success for quite some time now and I thought maybe you could appreciate this. Superwork is a simple spreadsheet that you have to fill-in before you go to work (prepare), during your work sessions (plan) and after you're finished (debrief).
The sheet is based on Ultrawork [1] but fixes a lot of things that I thought were wrong with Ultrawork. My biggest problem with Ultrawork was that the timing of the cycles was inflexible.
How to use Superwork:
1. Before starting your work, make a copy of the template sheet and give it an appropriate name (I use the date), then fill-in the prepare section.
2. Start a timer for 45 minutes (you can change this, but the sheet is based on cycles of 45 minutes of work and 15 minutes of rest)
3. Start by filling in your goal for that cycle
4. When the timer hits you fill in the end time and review that cycle
5. Repeat step 3 & 4 until the workday is over
6. After having completed the required amount of cycles (I can never manage more than 6, YMMV) debrief yourself by looking back on what you did that day!
I hope someone finds this useful! As someone who has a lot of trouble focusing this really worked for me.
