30-day Deep-work highway
Train a 30-day daily return so one distracting car does not own the work block.
Daily return before the work block
The Highway focus skill, used as a small reset in real work: notice the distraction, let it pass, return to the assigned road.
For the moment a ping, a shiny idea, or irritation steals the work block you meant to keep.
Program outcomes are practice goals for a self-guided observer habit. CONA is not therapy, diagnosis, crisis support, or a promised medical result.
