Habits for better focus

Focus is easier to build than to force. These habits make room for it, a little at a time.

8 habit ideas

Plan my day
Weekdays Morning

Before you open your email, write down the three things that matter most today.
Focus for 25 minutes
Weekdays Midday

One timer, one task, one tab. When it rings, take five minutes away from the screen.
An hour without my phone
Every day Evening

Put it in a drawer for an hour. The evening is the easiest place to start.
Clear my desk
Weekdays Evening

Two minutes at the end of the day, so tomorrow starts on a clean desk.
Email twice a day
Weekdays Midday

Pick two times to read and answer email, and keep it closed in between.
A real break
Weekdays Midday

Ten minutes away from your desk and away from any screen, once a day.
Write one page
Every day Morning

Write before you read: one page of your own thoughts, first thing.
Look back on the week
Once a week Anytime

Fifteen minutes on a Friday to look at the week that was and plan the one ahead.

Every habit here can be made in Cozy: name it, give it one of 290 hand-drawn stickers and a color, and pick its days.

Make these in Cozy.

Each habit becomes a card that fills with color when you tick it off, with a streak that forgives a hard day.

Same slot, every day

Put the focus block at the same time each day, so it is a time on the clock and not a decision.
Weekdays only is fine

A work habit can be set for weekdays alone. In Cozy, a day the habit is not planned never breaks its streak.
Start with one

Three new focus habits at once is a lot. Keep one for two weeks, then add the next.
