## Tactical Playbook
- Leverage a 'portfolio approach' to energy management: dynamically batch low-intensity administrative tasks during periods of low cognitive stamina, preserving uninterrupted blocks strictly for deep, high-value problem solving.
- Systematize interpersonal conflict resolution by implementing strict operational frameworks (e.g., 'Hardy-Littlewood rules') that ban credit disputes, demand transparent communication increments, and prevent 'intellectual capture' by any single participant.
- Exercise 'aggressive flexibility' and modular execution by frequently utilizing the 'wastebasket' for sunk-costs, pivoting immediately to secondary projects when stalled, and integrating automation tools to delegate tactical 'vibe coding' while retaining architectural oversight.
