There's a lot of media out there to tempt us.
We have mountains of to-do's, but why is time flying by....
Why are YouTube and Netflix so entertaining?
Why do we turn back on games when we're stressed?
Doesn't it matter if I spend time on social media writing about how I'm feeling right now, because it's still short?
No, actually, isn't this not play, but a rational break to work more effectively and efficiently?
So, what do you think?
Do you realize how much you find yourself darting off to any medium while you're working?
For those of you who want to live a more organized and efficient day, here's a gift.
Something that's always enough if you use it well.
Something that, if lost, will never come back.
The most valuable thing known to man.
Gold.
Every word you use to describe your time is a step in the direction of positivity.
You need to know what you're spending your time on.
A mountain out of a molehill. This adage applies to time as well as money.
When you add up all the time you spend doing a little bit of everything, it adds up to a lot!
You've probably realized this yourself, but you're not sure how much.
The next thing you know, the year has flown by and you're repeating the experience over and over again.
It's time for us to take stock of our own time.
[Focus Timer] lets you know immediately which programs you're using and how much.
The timer only runs when you're using that program, and if you launch or click on something else, the timer stops.
What's unique is that it reacts on a per-program basis, so if you have multiple windows open in the same program, the same amount of time will pass.
You set it once, and you don't have to set it again every time you kill the program!
Because sometimes you need to work across multiple files!
What if you could see a measure of effort, like experience points in games?
There are many reasons why games are fun, but one of the most important is the immediate feedback on effort.
If you put in the time, your experience goes up, your combat power goes up, and your character gets stronger!
Unfortunately, this isn't a game, so there are no "leveling up rewards", but you can see how much effort and focus you've put in.
Your "concentration" will slowly increase as you continue to use the programs you've signed up for, and will slowly decrease as you distract yourself.
Use these numbers, which sync in real time, as a source of persistence!
When you get tired, ask yourself, what did I do yesterday?
It's no good if tomorrow's version of you forgets.
Focus Timer gives you a bird's eye view of how you've spent your time in the past, and what you've spent it on.
Become a better version of yourself today than you were yesterday!
That "plan for tomorrow" you promise yourself every night when you go to bed, did you stick to it today?
What other things did you start because you got sidetracked... Hmm, what time is it?
I just got a KakaoTalk notification.
It's not my favorite song.
I remembered an unchecked email.
We unconsciously break our focus for a variety of reasons.
And when we do get interrupted, it's been said that it takes 23 minutes to get back to the task at hand and give it our full attention.
Window Lock prevents those "little distractions".
If you try to do something other than the program you're enrolled in, that red border will forcefully lock the screen to your work program.
If it's really urgent, you can unlock and leave, but you might as well finish what you're doing!
I'm on a deadline and I can't control myself...
Do you have something you need to do right now, but you're having a hard time focusing?
Is your deadline only 5 hours away?
Ten missed calls from your contact?
And you keep reaching for another window?
That's a really tough situation and one that shouldn't come up, but if it does, try this feature!
"Deadline Mode" will never unlock a window for the time you set.
Unless you crash your computer, that is!
in progress...
