Pre-Work Deep Calm


Unsweetened dark chocolate for the moment before focused work.

 The Pre-Work Protocol 

Pause · Open · Begin

1. Pause
Sit down. Choose the first task. Take one slow breath.

2. Open
Unwrap one block. Let the flavour settle.

3. Begin
Start the first task immediately.

Why Threshold Works as a Cue

Starting focused work is often harder than continuing once you have begun. Threshold creates a repeatable transition: the same portion, the same distinctive taste and the same three-step protocol before each session.

It does not create focus for you. It gives you a clear signal to begin.

100% cacao. No added sugar. No added caffeine.

Why I Built Threshold

A note from Oloff Osborne, Founder of Threshold

Starting focused work was often harder than continuing once I had begun. I wanted a simple physical cue that made that transition deliberate - without turning it into another productivity supplement. That became Threshold.

Made for Deliberate Work

Threshold is for founders, students, writers, researchers and builders whose work requires sustained attention.

One block marks the beginning of one defined work session. It is deliberately portioned and intentionally bitter - not designed as an ordinary sweet snack.

What to Expect

Is it bitter?

Yes. Threshold is 100% cacao with no added sweetness. The flavour is intentionally intense, but each portion is only 5 g.

Does it taste like ordinary dark chocolate?

No. It is less sweet and more intense than a conventional dark-chocolate bar.

Is Threshold a supplement?

No. It is unsweetened dark chocolate paired with a simple pre-work protocol.

Does cacao contain caffeine?

Yes, naturally in small amounts, along with theobromine. No caffeine is added separately.
