Startup Ritual

  • Review Fawkes Effort Card (Last → Next)
  • Open the Fawkes GitHub repo
  • Check the most recent commit + open issues
  • Open the local dev environment or workspace
  • Run a quick status check:
    • git status
    • kubectl get pods (if relevant)
    • IaC plan or diff (Terraform/Ansible/etc.)
  • Choose one tiny, finishable action:
    • Update a doc
    • Improve a script
    • Fix a small issue
    • Add a note to the Idea Garden

Evidence Base

  • Context restoration reduces cognitive switching cost
  • Small technical actions build momentum
  • Reviewing last commit improves flow re‑entry
