THE 4-MONTH LIFE OVERHAUL WORKBOOK

A Reinvention Framework Based on Cal Newport's Deep Life Stack

⸻

PHASE 1: DISCIPLINE (Weeks 1–2)

Build the floor. Prove you can act.

STEP 1: Set Up Your "Core"

What is it? A single place (notebook, folder, note, binder) where you track everything for the next 4 months.

Action:

• Choose your core container (digital or physical?)
• Create sections for: Habits | Values | Plans | Vision

Why it matters: Visibility turns intention into reality. If it's not written down, it doesn't exist.

⸻

STEP 2: Choose Three Keystone Habits

What are they? Daily non-trivial habits across three life domains. Hard enough to feel real, easy enough to keep even on chaotic days.

Habit #1 — Professional Life:

• What's one daily habit that moves your work forward? (Examples: 45 min focused work before checking messages, complete one high-priority task, 30 min skill-building)
