Count the hours that actually mattered

A weekly measure of uninterrupted focus time, so deep work is a number, not a vibe.

Ask how much deep work you did this week and the answer is a feeling: 'not enough.' Feelings cannot be managed, compared, or improved on purpose.

Meanwhile the calendar knows exactly how fragmented the week was. The number exists; it just never gets counted.

THE ROUTINE

What it does

Every week, this routine measures your uninterrupted focus time: how many real blocks you got, when they happened, and what ate the rest.

Once the number is visible, it starts moving up. What gets measured gets defended.

VS. CHAT SKILLS

Why not just use a skill?

Chat skills wait for you. Routines do not.

With a Claude or ChatGPT skill, you are the integration: copy the email, paste the calendar, explain the background, then carry the answer back out.

Littlebird skips the middleman. It reads the sources directly, runs on your schedule, and your data is never sold or used to train a model.

FAQ

What counts as deep work?

Uninterrupted stretches on real work -- the routine reads your blocks and you set the threshold in the prompt.

Will it shame me about meetings?

No shame. It shows where focus lived and died, and the meeting load becomes obvious on its own.

Can I compare weeks?

Yes. Run it weekly and the trend line tells you whether your defenses are working.

What privacy controls exist?

On privacy the answer is simple: nothing is sold, nothing is trained on your content, and everything runs under SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned controls.

What is the training-data policy?

It is private by architecture: Mac-local work, nothing sold, nothing trained on, SOC 2, GDPR and CCPA aligned.
