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.
