Using a timer for this goal
Goals fail when they stay abstract. Convert “focus more” into daily blocks you can finish. Start smaller than your ego wants if that is what gets the first session done.
Why block distractions matters for real work
The practical test for block distractions is simple: can you finish one honest block today without redesigning your entire productivity system? Superfocus is set up for that—Any preset + Cassettes, optional sound, tasks if you need them.
Repeat daily before you optimize. Most gains come from showing up for the block, not from finding a mythical perfect length on day one.
Benefits of using Superfocus for block distractions

- Timer in one tab, distractions in five others — keep sound and tasks with the countdown when you can.
