Deep Work One Outcome Rule
The deep work one outcome rule gives each focus block one clear deliverable in the calendar title—reducing vague multitasking inside protected hours.
The deep work one outcome rule assigns each focus block a single finish line—draft section two, fix test suite, outline deck—not a vague 'work on project. ' One outcome makes start and stop obvious and cuts mid-block tab hopping.
Write the outcome in the calendar event title. If unfinished, roll to the next block instead of extending into lunch.
Ohga scores blocks higher when users log a named deliverable at block end versus generic focus minutes. If tempted to multitask, split into two calendar blocks instead.
Common questions
-
What if the outcome takes longer than the block?
Stop at block end, note progress in one sentence, and schedule continuation in the next reserved slot. Protecting the rule beats fake marathon sessions with declining quality.
