Morning: restore the workspace
Open the workspace, scan saved groups, recurring slots and today's deadlines. The morning ritual is restoration — not planning. Planning happens once a week; restoration happens daily.

How to build a daily productivity operations system
A daily productivity system isn't a checklist — it's an operational loop. Restore in the morning, run the work in business-day terms, close the loop in the evening. The workspace holds the state between days.

Midday: run work in business-day terms
Every commitment expressed as a business-day deadline against the team's holiday list. Calendar-day commitments break whenever a holiday or weekend lands inside the window.
Afternoon: protect focus blocks
Use the work-hours calculator to compute real available focus time after meetings. Block the longest available window for deep work and treat it as immovable.
Evening: close the loop
Mark recent calculations as kept or discarded, confirm the workspace state, and let restoration carry the load into tomorrow. The system works because the state survives the night.

Frequently asked
How much time does the daily loop take?⌄
Five minutes in the morning, two minutes in the evening. The midday and afternoon steps are how you work — not extra overhead.
What if I miss a day?⌄
Restoration is forgiving by design. The workspace state survives missed days; you just open it and resume. The whole point is that the system absorbs missed days without collapsing.
