System time covers planning, routing, shutdown, and small maintenance. The point is leverage, not ceremony.
Operating rules
Today list max 5. Anything beyond that stays in inbox or moves to a later day.
One capture path. Ideas go into Google Tasks inbox or `scratchpad.md`, not memory.
Waiting items expire. Stale blockers are escalated or closed instead of lingering.
Deep work stays protected. Calendar reflects actual capacity, not wishful planning.
Every meaningful engineering decision can become evidence. The workflow helps surface that early.
