Just begin. BUILT FOR HOW YOUR BRAIN WORKS Big tasks feel impossible. First Step turns them into 2-3 minute actions so small they feel easy. "Clean my room" becomes "pick up 3 things from the floor." That's it. One step at a time. GENTLE FOCUS SESSIONS Tap Start Focus and work through your steps with a calm timer. No pressure, no guilt. You can stop after 2 minutes โ or keep going. Most people keep going. AI DAILY SCHEDULING Check in each morning and get a gentle schedule that matches your energy. Too much? Shuffle it. Still too much? Ask for just one thing.
