FocusDeck vs Todoist
Your tasks deserve a timer, not just a checkbox
Todoist organizes what you need to do. FocusDeck structures when and how long you actually do it — then repeats it tomorrow without rebuilding.

What changes when you switch
No timed blocks
Todoist tells you what to do but not how long to spend on it. You check off tasks without building a rhythm, and context-switching eats your focus.
FocusDeck wraps every task in a timed block — focus, rest, review. You work in structured intervals that protect deep work and prevent burnout.
No reusable daily routine
Every morning you open Todoist and re-plan your day from scratch. The overhead of deciding what to work on kills momentum before you start.
Build your deck once. Tomorrow, hit play. FocusDeck saves your block sequence so your routine runs on autopilot — no daily planning friction.
No session-level tracking
Todoist shows task completion but not how your focus session went. Did you stay focused? Did you take breaks? There is no session awareness.
FocusDeck logs every session: time spent, notes taken, blocks completed. Review your real focus patterns and adjust your deck to match how you actually work.
How FocusDeck works
Step 1
Build your deck
Pick block types — focus, rest, practice, review. Set durations. Name it.
Step 2
Run it daily
One click starts your full session. A timer guides you through each block.
Step 3
Review & improve
See session history, notes, and analytics. Adjust your deck based on real data.
