Final Exam
Ten questions, seven to pass. This tests whether the core ideas stuck — not trivia, just the stuff that actually matters. Pass it and you've earned the +100 XP.
1. What's the difference between a task and an outcome?
Why: A task is just activity — it doesn’t have to produce anything. An outcome always does.
2. What is a power block?
Why: It sits at your peak-energy hours, which is what makes the work in it deep instead of just long.
3. What does the Friday Reset do?
Why: Specifically, it plans next week’s three outcomes — the plan for next week comes out of the honest review, not before it.
4. Your calendar is full but nothing important moves. What's the diagnosis?
Why: There’s no hierarchy — nothing ranks what matters, so the calendar fills with activity instead of progress.
5. What is an energy map for?
Why: Admin goes to your valleys — the dips in the day get the shallow work, the peaks get the deep work.
6. What is the shutdown ritual's job?
Why: Its job is to give your brain permission to stop for the day — open loops keep it working overnight.
7. A colleague asks for 'a quick 30 minutes' that serves their goals, not yours. What protects you?
8. What is batching?
9. The course calls burnout what?
10. What's the minimum viable week?
Why: That’s the floor you never go below — the minimum viable week keeps those three pieces and lets everything else flex.
