Episode notes
Month-Long Push, Two-Day Recovery
- Tom Solid spent about a month in hyper-focus building My iCore 2.0 and then caught up a month of shallow work in roughly two days.
- He processed 460 emails, 64 overdue tasks, 86 invoices, 36 ClickUp messages, and relaunched 59 lessons during that catch-up period.
Single Source Stops Overwhelm
- A clear single source of truth prevents scattered information and reduces anxiety.
- Tom credits ClickUp and I-Core for letting him know priorities and stay calm while work piled up.
Schedule Short Shallow Sessions
- Do reserve short focused windows for unavoidable shallow tasks while deep in a big push.
- Paco suggests saving 30–60 minutes to clear urgent shallow work so it doesn't block others.
