Focus, Habits & Deep Work

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management method that breaks work into 25-minute focus intervals separated by 5-minute breaks.

Sick? On holiday? Just forgot? Use a Freeze Day to protect your streak without it counting as a miss. You get 2 per habit.

Some habits don't need daily tracking. Set a weekly goal instead – 'Exercise 3x per week' is more realistic than 'Exercise daily' for most humans. We…
