Do your best work, consistently. Deep work everyday helps you to get into the habit of deep work. Habits are what we are, and it is very hard to build them from scratch. A space rocket burns %80 of itβs fuel in the first minute. Thatβs when the gravity is at itβs strongest point to pull it back. Same with side projects, same with habits. Building the momentum is the hardest. Deep Work Everyday is here to help build that momentum. An app with a start and end; 14 chapters, starting today. Each one starts with quote, followed by a pomodoro session. Once done, a short article gets unlocked. New chapters everyday; You can't rush your way through it though. You can unlock a single chapter in one day. So you need to show up and do the work. Along the way, the app helps you stay on track: - Smart reminders nudge you when itβs time to work,Β - Live Activities keep your timer visible on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island andΒ - Widgets bring your daily quote or your grid-style progress right to your Home Screen.Β - Your streak, total deep-work time and momentum are all captured in a clean analytics view, giving you a clear sense of how far youβve come. A point of view; They are nothing more than perspective on creativity and building things. Some may resonate with you some may not. Hopefully they will provide the little push that you need to build this new habit.
