Three Columns, Three Mental Modes
Each column represents a distinct type of attention. Border weight increases with the creative energy a task demands.
Deep Focus
Tasks requiring sustained concentration — writing, design, coding, or strategic thinking.
Reactive Admin
Communication, scheduling, invoicing, and other responsive tasks that interrupt less easily.
Creative Incubation
Open-ended exploration — collecting references, sketching ideas, or letting concepts develop passively.
Why Energy Over Hours?
A two-hour block at 9 AM feels different from the same block at 3 PM. Clock-based calendars ignore this variation. The Energy Mapper lets you place tasks where your mental state can actually support them.
Drag task blocks between columns as your day unfolds. The visual border thickness reminds you how much creative fuel each item requires.
Pair With Time-Boxing
Once tasks are mapped by energy, use the Time-Boxing Lab to execute each block with a focused countdown timer.
