A command-line automation system for daily, weekly, and evening planning using the Full Focus method. Integrates with Notion for task management, calendar data for scheduling, and Obsidian for note-taking.

Overview

This system helps you plan your work using the Full Focus journal method with three core commands:

Daily planning - Generate today's priorities, blockers, and focus tasks
Evening prep - Prepare tomorrow's agenda and suggested tasks
Weekly planning - Create weekly priorities and key tasks

The system follows a priority hierarchy:

Never block others - Tasks with people waiting on you
Respect deadlines - Time-sensitive commitments
Maintain momentum - Weekly focus projects

Prerequisites

Claude Code - AI-powered CLI tool
Obsidian - Note-taking application (optional, for viewing notes)
Notion workspace with:
- Projects database
- Task Tracker database
Calendar data exported as JSON files

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone git@github.com:stegel/full-focus.git
cd full-focus

Make the CLI script executable:
```
chmod +x full-focus.sh
```

Add to your PATH:

Add this line to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:

alias full-focus="/path/to/full-focus/full-focus.sh"

Then reload:

source ~/.zshrc

Configuration

1. Update CLAUDE.md

Edit CLAUDE.md to set your data source paths:

Calendar JSON location (default: ~/OneDrive - ServiceNow/BoxData/CalendarEvents_YYYYMMDD.json)
Projects JSON location
Tasks JSON location

2. Configure Notion MCP

Set up the Notion MCP server in your Claude Code settings to access your Notion databases.

3. Data Sources

The system expects these data files:

Calendar Events:

{
  "body": [
    {
      "subject": "Meeting Title",
      "startET": "09:00 AM",
      "endET": "10:00 AM",
      "organizer": "Name",
      "duration": "1 hour"
    }
  ]
}

Projects:

{
  "body": [
    {
      "name": "Project Name",
      "status": "Active",
      "focusThisWeek": true,
      "weeklyGoal": "Goal description",
      "type": "Project",
      "dueDate": "2025-12-31"
    }
  ]
}

Tasks:

{
  "body": [
    {
      "name": "Task Name",
      "status": "Not started",
      "blocking": ["Person 1", "Person 2"],
      "dueDate": "2025-12-31",
      "suggestedForToday": "2025-12-12",
      "priority": "High",
      "effort": "1 hour",
      "energyType": "Deep Work",
      "project": "project-id"
    }
  ]
}

Usage

Daily Planning

Generate today's daily plan with priorities, blockers, and focus tasks:

full-focus daily

Creates a note: Daily Notes/Daily Note - YYYY-MM-DD.md

Evening Preparation

Prepare tomorrow's plan with agenda and suggested tasks:

full-focus evening

Creates a note for tomorrow with:

Calendar agenda with time blocks
Unscheduled time calculation
Suggested tasks (blocking + deadlines)

Weekly Planning

Create your weekly plan with priorities and key tasks:

full-focus weekly

Creates a note: Weekly Notes/Weekly Note - Month Day, Year.md

Includes:

Top 3 focus projects for the week
Key tasks due this week
Suggested reading based on available time

Slash Commands

The system includes these Claude Code slash commands (usable interactively):

/daily-template - Generate daily plan
/evening-prep - Prepare tomorrow's plan
/weekly-template - Create weekly plan
/reading-suggestions - Get reading recommendations

Automation

Schedule automatic planning with cron:

# Edit crontab
crontab -e

# Add these lines:
# Daily plan at 8 AM on weekdays
0 8 * * 1-5 /path/to/full-focus.sh daily

# Evening prep at 5 PM on weekdays
0 17 * * 1-5 /path/to/full-focus.sh evening

# Weekly plan at 8 PM on Sundays
0 20 * * 0 /path/to/full-focus.sh weekly

Features

Priority-based task suggestions - Automatically surfaces blocking tasks and deadlines
Time-aware planning - Calculates available time blocks between meetings
Smart reading recommendations - Matches article length to available time gaps
Weekly focus tracking - Highlights projects flagged for this week
Obsidian integration - Creates linked notes with table of contents
Non-interactive execution - Runs completely headless for automation

Customization

Modify Planning Templates

Edit the files in .claude/commands/ to customize:

What data is included in plans
Formatting and structure
Additional sections or queries

Adjust Work Hours

Update in CLAUDE.md:

* My work day is 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM ET

Change Priority Hierarchy

Modify the priority rules in CLAUDE.md:

* AJ's priority hierarchy: (1) Never block others, (2) Respect deadlines, (3) Maintain momentum

Troubleshooting

Permission errors: The script uses --permission-mode bypassPermissions to run non-interactively. If you want manual approval, edit full-focus.sh and change to --permission-mode acceptEdits.

Calendar not found: Ensure your calendar JSON files are in the correct location and use the naming format: CalendarEvents_YYYYMMDD.json

Notion data not loading: Verify the Notion MCP server is configured in your Claude Code settings and you have access to the databases.
