Zellige Blueprint

The Zellige Blueprint is a productivity system that transforms how you organize your digital and physical life, inspired by the ancient Moroccan art of zellige composition.

Core Philosophy

Growing up surrounded by zellige in Ksar El-Kébir, I watched master artisans transform broken, fragmented tiles into breathtaking harmony. The key insight wasn’t perfection, but intentional composition.

“The beauty isn’t in the speed, but in the spaces between the tiles. Those gaps hold the light. Rushed work has no room for light.” - Master Zellige Artisan, Fès

The Three Principles

1. Intentional Composition

Like arranging zellige tiles, every task and project should be placed with purpose, not just piled together.

2. Harmonious Fragments

Your work life contains many pieces—meetings, deep work, communication. The Zellige Blueprint teaches you to arrange them in harmony.

3. Spaces for Light

The most beautiful zellige patterns have intentional gaps. Similarly, your schedule needs breathing room for creativity and unexpected opportunities.

Practical Application

This system moves beyond traditional productivity methods by focusing on:

  • Quality of arrangement over quantity of tasks
  • Intentional spacing between work blocks
  • Aesthetic harmony in your digital workspace
  • Sustainable rhythms that prevent burnout
