Write down any details you have in mind that are likely to be forgotten once you step away: Such as details about similar examples in your life that you want to include in your stories. Your right-now thoughts about some detail you want to elaborate.

Write out your intention for the next work session: Set an intention for what you plan on grappling with next. What you want to solve as soon as you start your next session of Deep Work. Works like aforementioned 2,9 Записка — простой способ сосредоточиться but now you can set more task according to 2,7 Правило трех дел.
