Feature
Timed task blocks instead of a to-do list
Stop staring at a list of tasks. Wrap each one in a timed block — focus, rest, practice, review — and let the timer guide you through.
Why it matters
Every task gets a timer
No more guessing how long something takes. Each block has a set duration, so you work within a boundary instead of letting tasks expand indefinitely.
Different block types for different work
Focus blocks for deep work. Rest blocks for recovery. Practice blocks for active recall. Review blocks for reflection. Your session has structure.
Beat task paralysis
A to-do list asks you to choose what to do next. A deck tells you. Hit play and the first block starts — no decision fatigue, no blank-list paralysis.
Timed Task Blocks: before & after
| Scenario | Traditional | FocusDeck |
|---|---|---|
| Starting work | Stare at list, pick a task, guess how long | Hit play, first timed block starts immediately |
| Task boundaries | Tasks expand until something interrupts you | Timer ends the block — move on or extend by 5 min |
| Session structure | Random order, no rest, no review | Designed sequence: focus → rest → practice → review |
| End of session | Check boxes, close the app | Review screen with notes, completion rate, and time data |
