## Notes
Good start, deep work block hitting
its stride around the 90min mark...
Check in
Finish

Good sessions disappear.

You sit down, do the work, close the laptop. No record. No reflection. No signal. Next time, you start from scratch, nothing to build on.

Most reflection happens after the fact, when the details are already gone. Chronicle captures it in the moment — goals, check-ins, notes — so your next session can actually be different.

Built around you.
