“#One of Windows 11’s best features is a focus timer with Spotify<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

A few days ago, Microsoft hype man Panos Panay tweeted an interesting new feature coming to Windows 11 that wasn\u2019t part of the official announcement (nor was it present in any of the preview builds so far). The OS will come with a feature called Focus Sessions, which is basically a Pomodoro<\/a>-style timer with Spotify and Microsoft To-Do integration. I\u2019m all for it.<\/p>\n

Another first look from the team\u2026#FocusSessions<\/a> on #Windows11<\/a> coming soon. This has been a game<\/a>-changer for me, especially with @Spotify<\/a> integration #Productivity<\/a>#Creativity<\/a>#WindowsInsiders<\/a>pic.twitter.com\/HfJh4niDiS<\/a><\/p>\n

For those not familiar, the Pomodoro method is a simple productivity strategy in which you focus on a task for, say, 20-30 minutes, and then take short (often 5-10 minute) breaks in between. The exact timing is flexible, but the idea is to break down a task into manageable chunks while still allowing some room for small distractions. The keyword is small; taking a timed short break helps ensure you don\u2019t go on a complete tangent of procrastination.<\/p>\n

By the look of Panay\u2019s teaser, Focus Sessions will be integrated right into the Windows 11 Clock app<\/a>. You\u2019re able to set how long you want to focus for and see a summary of your tasks from Microsoft\u2019s To-Do app. There\u2019s also a slight gamification component with a daily progress tracker that lets you know how many hours you\u2019ve spent \u2018focusing.\u2019<\/p>\n
