Zone Management (developed in-house; for time blindness), Start AI (to learn about yourself), Tri-timer (developed in-house; for task-state management), and much more to help you get going with what you want to do! “I just need to start… why can’t I start?” “It will take 5 minutes… why am I still not doing it?” “I’ve been scrolling for 3 hours feeling guilty the entire time. -Let´s scroll some more” “I’ll start at 14:00… oh it’s 14:03. I’ll wait until 15:00- but then i´m going” “The whole day just disappeared.” “There are 20 things to do, but i can´t pick one.” *For students:* “I´ll do it in the evening, i´ll have more energy then…” “I should sleep, but I can’t put my phone down.” “I wasted the whole day again.” “Let´s scroll some more…” FocusMaxing: - Tool to help you get going there and then, as well as manage time-blindness in the longer term. - You´ll see exactly how long to focus before you should feel good about yourself. - You know how much is enough - You know when you’re done.
