I can't read that and not think about all those influencers and efficiency coaching videos. "Do this thing that works for me, a person addicted to structured functioning." This has so many preconditions about what you want to achieve and what the context is.
For example I've done beginner's programming lessons with kids. Using Scratch, at the level of explaining what a variable is. There were 2 kids who would consume any knowledge given out of pure interest and everyone else who either was entertained while learning or immediately switched to playing ready games from the Scratch library. Anything close to "you're going to do learning/mind workout for the next hour" would just alienate all of them.
That's without even getting into how funny this idea would be to people with executive issues (which we have a decent representation of in tech) "allocate 4 hours" haha.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it works for him and if anyone finds it useful/motivating, I'm happy for you. But presenting this as something universal really annoys me. To be a bit more positive - any workout you actually do is better than the one you don't. If you need fun to continue, that's awesome. If you like a challenge, awesome. If you like goals, awesome.
