Hourglass – Task Focus

Have you ever been stuck on a tricky task? What about those times you want to explore a new idea or concept, but need to limit the amount of time you spend? Hourglass can help you push through these tasks, and then bring you back to reality when you need to get back to other tasks. Hourglass improves your ability to focus by encouraging the habit of honing on singular tasks. When you are ready to tackle that tough task, flip the hourglass and start working. When the hourglass is empty, you will receive a notification that its time to take a break. It's simple, yet highly effective in increasing your personal productivity. The Hourglass purposely does not indicate how much time is remaining, or give you an exact time frame when you flip the hourglass. This strategy helps to “trick” your brain into focusing on the task, not the time remaining.
