Using Focus Mode & Pomodoro Sessions

Goal

Use Focus Mode to do distraction-free work and track focus time automatically.

Step-by-step

Step 1 — Choose what you’re focusing on

• Pick one task you want to complete

• Keep the task specific (a single outcome)

Step 2 — Pick a session type

• Pomodoro for structured short sessions (great for starting)

• Deep Work for longer uninterrupted blocks

Step 3 — Start the timer

• Tap Start

• Put the phone down or keep it visible as your “commitment device”

Step 4 — Handle interruptions properly

If you’re interrupted:

• Pause the session

• Write down what interrupted you (1 line)

• Resume when ready

Step 5 — Finish and log progress

• End the session

• Mark the task complete or break it into the next step

Suggested defaults

• Pomodoro: 25m focus + short break

• Deep Work: 60–90m focus + 10m break
