5-Minute Prime

Start with 2 minutes of nasal breathing, 2 minutes of joint mobility, and 1 minute of rapid eye movements. This wakes up the nervous system and tells your brain it’s showtime.

Play the same song or scent during priming to create a Pavlovian cue for focus.

15-Minute Core Block

Pick two drills and alternate sets: e.g., Reaction Time (3x10 reps) and Number Memory (3 attempts). Rest 30–45 seconds between sets. Keep intensity high—quality beats volume.

Log scores immediately. The feedback loop is what drives adaptation.

5-Minute Integration

Write a one-sentence takeaway and schedule where you will apply the skill today. If you trained memory, plan to review client names. If you trained focus, block a deep work sprint right after.

Finish with a downshift breath to exit high alert mode.

Action Steps

Schedule the same time daily

Habit strength skyrockets when sessions happen at a consistent hour.

Rotate drills weekly

Keep novelty alive while respecting adaptation cycles.

Track streaks

Use the in-app streak counter or your habit tracker of choice.

Recommended Games

Reaction Time

Fast primer for the nervous system.

Number Memory

Pairs well with Reaction Time in alternating sets.

Sequence Memory

Use on days you need more pattern recognition.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I double sessions?

Only if you maintain quality. Two short sessions (morning/evening) beat one long, sloppy block.

What if I miss a day?

Restart immediately. Missing once is fine; missing twice creates a new habit.
