Progress vs Random Reminder

Progress is a goal tracker and planner with to-do lists, scheduling, and a focus timer. Break down goals, set personal OKRs, organize tasks, plan your studies and work, track reading, and schedule reviews. With a calendar, reminders, recurring check-ins, and a Pomodoro timer, bring structure to goal management, time management, habit building, and project planning. 【Goal Breakdown & Measurable Progress】 Turn big plans into concrete actions with unlimited levels of subgoals. • Unlimited levels: Break goals into projects, phases, and tasks, then divide them further as needed. • Progress roll-up: Subgoal progress automatically updates parent goals. Choose simple average, weighted average, highest progress, or lowest progress to track each phase and the overall plan. • Goal weights: Assign weights to key goals to calculate overall progress. Ideal for personal OKRs and project management. Choose a tracking method for each goal to measure progress and record your focus time. • Completion tracking: Mark tasks as complete when done. • Quantity tracking: For a 100-page reading goal, log the pages you read each time to build progress. • Time tracking: For a 10-hour study goal, use the focus timer or add records manually. • Scheduled activity tracking: For a goal of 3 practice sessions, each completed scheduled activity automatically adds one session to your progress. 【Scheduling & To-Do Lists】 Plan short-term actions for long-term goals. Organize tasks in list, Kanban, or Eisenhower Matrix views, set priorities, and coordinate your time with the calendar timeline. • Scheduling: Schedule activities for goals or create standalone to-dos for study, work, and daily life. • Reminders: Set reminders for goals and activities to keep important plans on track. • Recurrence rules: Plan recurring tasks, daily check-ins, and study reviews with flexible repeat patterns, including Ebbinghaus-based spaced repetition. • Calendar view: See schedules and focus records together to plan around existing commitments. • Eisenhower Matrix: Sort tasks by importance and urgency to decide what comes first. • Kanban view: View tasks in columns for easy browsing and organization. • Flexible sorting: Sort by date, title, priority, and more to quickly find your next task. 【Focus Timer & Time Estimates】 Record your actual focus time and stay on task with the Pomodoro Technique and app blocking. Link sessions to goals to estimate the focus time still needed and plan ahead. • Focus timer: Use a stopwatch or countdown to study, read, or work at your own pace. • Break timer: Alternate focus and rest with the Pomodoro Technique. • Goal linking: Link focus records to goals to track time invested and add progress to time-based goals. • Time estimates: Estimate the focus time needed to reach a goal based on current progress and time already recorded. • App blocking: Block selected apps during focus sessions to reduce distractions. • Calendar timeline: Compare planned activities with actual focus records, review daily time use, and adjust future plans. 【Quick Access & Data Management】 • Widgets: View goal progress and schedules on your Home Screen or desktop. • iCloud sync: View and update plans across devices using the same iCloud account. • Data backup: Save and restore records with local and cloud backups. Whether you are preparing for an exam, completing a course, reading regularly, or finishing a project, start by breaking down your first goal. Turn what you want to do into progress you can see.

“Random Reminder” is a new focus method designed to help you enter deep focus quickly. More than 400 people worldwide use it every second. With this method, you can stay focused for up to 90 minutes, improve your attention and memory, and enter a flow state more easily. == A New Focus Method == - Set a sound to play at random intervals (e.g., every 3–5 minutes). - Each time you hear the reminder sound, immediately close your eyes and rest for 10 seconds. - Then return to your work or study and continue focusing. Repeat this process until the 90-minute session ends. - After 90 minutes, take a 20-minute break. == Based on Four Core Principles == ■ Neural Replay During micro-breaks, your brain "replays" recently learned information at high speeds, improving memory retention and learning performance. ■ Variable Ratio Reinforcement Randomized feedback keeps the brain’s dopamine system engaged. Not knowing exactly when the next sound will occur maintains a healthy level of alertness and motivation. ■ Zeigarnik Effect Briefly interrupting a task creates a psychological "open loop." This makes your brain more eager to complete the task, helping you dive back in more effectively. ■ Ultradian Rhythms (90/20 Rule) The human brain naturally operates in 90-minute high-frequency cycles. Following this rhythm prevents burnout and maximizes mental endurance. ====== Personal growth website: https://zeenzeen.com Creator: 择恩 ====== “Random Reminder” can be downloaded and used for free.
