Use focus sessions

Start a session

The built-in work phase tracks time for the activity. Built-in break phases do not add activity time.

1. Add a Focus widget to an activity dashboard.
2. Choose the preset or phase sequence you want to use.
3. Check the durations and repetitions, then choose Start focus session.

Control the session

Use Pause and Resume when you need to interrupt a phase. The paused controls also let you restart or skip a phase.

Check the focus settings if you want the next phase to start automatically. Otherwise, continue when you are ready.

Review recorded time

Review the activity’s recorded work in the calendar or timeline. A focus session is a way to control tracking, not a separate copy of your time.

Custom phase types can control whether a phase starts activity tracking. Check that setting before using a custom sequence.
