focus & recovery

Design the conditions for focus, recovery, and high-value time on-site—so clarity holds and results endure.

Focus & Recovery OS (6-week Pathway)

Focus & Recovery OS — an ExOS® Pathway for high-clarity work and sustainable energy

Why this matters

When culture, operations, and environments drift from your ethos, people feel it first: focus erodes, context-switching explodes, after-hours becomes the norm. ExOS realigns the visible (Ethos · Experiences · Environments) with the invisible (sensory, emotional, cultural, informational, Inner Architecture™) so human experience drives coherent, repeatable performance.

What we install (the ExOS toolset)

Language OS — word cues that set tone & boundaries

  • Tone-lines for mail/Slack/Teams, send-windows, “arrive · focus · reset · close” cue cards

  • Naming & labels that reduce cognitive load (zones, rituals, artifacts)

Rhythm OS — patterns that protect energy

  • Quiet-Edge focus blocks (2×90), 90/20 recovery cadence, meeting-free bands

  • Optional Anchor Day pattern for on-site alignment (links to RTO Pathway)

Signal Kit (ANB: Art · Nature · Beauty) — state before behavior

  • Arrival Exhale, Quiet-Edge vignette, Recharge bar, Awe micro-gallery

  • Each with a “care card”: purpose · placement · light/sound spec · 2-min weekly care

Space Cues — minimum-viable environment

  • Light/sound/sightlines, calm thresholds, clear circulation; capex follows data

Personal ExOS (60–90s micro-rituals)

  • Breath/posture/gaze resets, daylight micro-doses, end-of-day downshift

Operating rails

  • Standards · Rituals · Roles · Cadence documented in an ExOS Playbook v1

The 6-week path (at a glance)

Week 0–1 — Baseline & Blueprint handoff

  • E³ × Invisible scan, baseline scorecard, select 2–3 live pilots (ANB + Language/Rhythm)

Week 2–3 — Install & run

  • Deploy Quiet-Edge, send-windows, recovery cadence, first ANB vignettes

  • Stand up Personal ExOS cohort; begin weekly pulse (calm/clarity/belonging)

Week 4 — Tune & extend

  • Optimize focus windows, adjust meeting-free bands, scale winning vignettes

  • Add “Reset Bar” or “Awe micro-gallery” if signal moves

Week 5–6 — Operate & handover

  • Finalize ExOS Playbook v1 (standards/roles/cadence), lock scorecard targets

  • Handover to named stewards; plan Residency

Deliverables

  • ExOS Playbook v1 · Language OS cards · Rhythm sheet (calendar .ics)

  • ANB care cards · One-page ExOS scorecard · Week-6 Outcome & ROI brief

Signals & targets (one-page scorecard)

Human (state)

  • Calm • Clarity • Belonging • Recoverability（60-sec pulse）

Operating

  • Deep-work minutes/day

  • Context switches/hour

  • Meeting load (hrs/wk)

  • After-hours message rate

  • Anchor-day utilization % (if RTO module active)

Business

  • Cycle time (idea → ship)

  • Rework %

  • Decision latency

  • NPS/GSAT (internal)

Typical 6-week lift

  • +15–30% deep-work minutes

  • −20–35% context switches

  • −20% after-hours volume

  • +10–15 pts team belonging

ROI snapshots (exec-ready)

  • Focus time: +30 min/day × 200 people × 220 days ≈ 2,200 hrs (~$264k/yr @ $120/hr)

  • Rework: −10% on a $5M roadmap ≈ $500k avoided waste

  • After-hours: −20% → attrition risk −2–3 pts (material retention savings)

Rule: Felt first. Measured next. Operated every day.

How this connects to your ethos (CSS™ compass)

We translate your Essence & Ethos into a one-page Ethos Charter (tone-lines, house-codes, aesthetic principles) and stress-test decisions with CSS™: Sustainability · Human-Centeredness · Connectivity. Progress stays principled and durable.

Designed to work with RTO

Add the RTO Experience OS when on-site days need purpose and rhythm. We’ll layer Anchor Day, coherent zones, and ANB thresholds so time in the office is worth it.

FAQs

Do we need renovations?
No. We start with language, rhythm, light/sound/sightlines, and small vignettes. Capex follows data.

How much time from leaders?
One sponsor + one steward. 30–45 min kickoff, then lightweight weekly touchpoints.

How fast do we feel change?
Week 1 you’ll feel calmer, clearer focus; by Week 2–3 the scorecard shows movement.

Can we start with RTO instead?
Yes. Many clients run RTO first, then add Focus & Recovery, or run them in parallel.
