1
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.976
An hour of messages, tabs, and tiny tasks.

2
00:00:03.106 --> 00:00:04.770
Did the proposal move forward?

3
00:00:05.010 --> 00:00:09.447
A focus block gives one piece of work a clear start and a set amount of time.

4
00:00:09.577 --> 00:00:11.604
Mish helps you make that choice from chat.

5
00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:13.855
Time to focus.

6
00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:19.541
First, tell Mish to make your focus blocks twenty five minutes by default.

7
00:00:19.671 --> 00:00:24.514
This saves the length you want to use, so the next block can start with a simple request.

8
00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:30.219
The focus settings now hold twenty five minutes.

9
00:00:30.349 --> 00:00:33.826
This page shows the saved length and the other focus options.

10
00:00:33.956 --> 00:00:37.839
Choose a length that fits the work, then give the block one clear task.

11
00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:42.155
Ask Mish to start a block on the client proposal.

12
00:00:42.285 --> 00:00:44.077
The task and the start are saved.

13
00:00:44.207 --> 00:00:45.636
Now work on that proposal.

14
00:00:45.816 --> 00:00:49.571
Keep new ideas in a note for later so this block has one job.

15
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:53.664
The focus view now counts the new block.

16
00:00:53.794 --> 00:00:57.975
This is the start of a real session, not twenty five minutes of finished work.

17
00:00:58.105 --> 00:01:02.713
Tell Mish when you finish, or say that you stopped early so the log stays honest.

18
00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:06.581
Use your focus history to see where your time went.

19
00:01:06.711 --> 00:01:09.698
Start with one task you can move forward in a short block.

20
00:01:09.828 --> 00:01:14.372
The aim is a clear stretch of work, followed by an honest check of what got done.
