THE LOCK-IN PROTOCOL
Ninety minutes. Once a day. Seven days.
If it doesn't change how you work, the Lock-In Guarantee is real — refund@elseware.app.
Step 1 — Phone in another room.
Not on silent. Not face-down. In another room. If you can't, lock it in a drawer. The audio is the lock; the phone is the leak.
Step 2 — Pick a place.
Open Elseware. Pick the first place that catches your eye. Don't deliberate. Tokyo at 4pm, Lisbon at 11pm, Library in Seoul at 7am — they all work. The deliberation is the procrastination.
Step 3 — Start the timer.
Tap the 90-minute focus timer. The audio plays. The timer runs. Your job is to stay in the chair.
Step 4 — Don't check anything.
No email. No browser tabs. No water break. Ninety minutes belongs to the work.
What this isn't.
- It isn't meditation. We don't care about your breath.
- It isn't wellness. We don't care how you feel.
- It isn't optimization. We don't track anything.
What it is.
A ritual you do every day until it isn't a ritual anymore. After seven days, locking in becomes the path of least resistance. That's the only outcome we promise.
