Design work startup chains to reach first productive output
Design work startup chains to reach first productive output before opening any communication tools, because reactive inputs replace your priorities with others' priorities before the chain completes.
Why This Is a Principle

This prescribes SEQUENCING based on how attention and goal structures interact.
