# The PEAK Performance Framework

> A four step operating system for reaching flow on purpose and recovering enough to repeat it.

Jared S. Quoyeser's framework, from The Flow Multiplier, pp. 9 to 143.

Framework 1 of 4 from [The Flow Multiplier](https://tomsharman.com/bookshelf/the-flow-multiplier/index.md) by Jared S. Quoyeser. Category: AI.

## The steps

1. **Prepare with Intention.** Clear the desk, silence and remove the phone, define goals, delegate, and schedule at least two deep work blocks a week.
2. **Execute with Precision.** Work in ninety-minute blocks on one big task, with a short list of AI tools handling the preparatory admin.
3. **Amplify Through Cycles.** Pair intense blocks with active recovery, sleep and diet, and run three hard weeks followed by one lighter week.
4. **Keep Growing.** Review each week when output peaked, what distracted you and whether the AI tools still help, then adjust.

## Where it comes from
