Do one focused 20-minute work session

Work on one task for twenty minutes with no interruptions.

Why it helps

Focus in short, protected blocks gets more done than long distracted ones. The time limit also makes starting easier.

How to do it

1. Choose one task and write it on paper.
2. Silence notifications and set a timer.
3. Work only on that task until it rings.

Make it easier

Do a ten-minute session.

Make it harder

Do two sessions with a short break between.
