Ask:

Does this align with my long-term game?

Check:

Am I trading time for real progress or for noise?

Frame:

Would I be proud if someone described me like this today?

Anchor:

Am I being sharp, fast, and clear?

Ship:

Did I produce something tangible today?

Focus:

Is this the highest-leverage thing I could be doing right now?

Health:

Did I protect the asset (sleep, food, training, recovery)?

Energy:

Am I showing up with the energy I'd want to receive?

Clarity:

Can I explain what I'm working on in one line?

Compound:

Will today's work still matter in a year?

Cut:

What's one thing I should stop doing right now?

Gratitude:

Peer Test:

Am I operating like a peer, not a "student founder"?

Integrity:

If someone I respect saw this choice, would I still make it?
