Introducing the Focus Button: Your Gateway to Deep Work

The Problem We're Solving

We've all been there. You sit down to work, open your Pomodoro timer, and then... ping! A notification. A quick check of social media. An "urgent" email that could have waited. Before you know it, 20 minutes have passed and you haven't even started your actual work.

The irony? You opened the timer to focus, but the very act of setting it up became another distraction.

Enter the Focus Button

Today, we're excited to introduce the Focus Button - a simple, one-click solution that transforms your pomo-dojo experience from setup to flow state in seconds.

Why This Matters Now

In 2025, the average knowledge worker faces more distractions than ever before. Studies show that:

• 96 phone checks per day - that's once every 10 minutes
• 11 minutes to refocus after each interruption
• 40% productivity loss from constant context switching

The Focus Button isn't just a feature - it's a statement. It says: "Right now, I choose focus over everything else."

How It Works

1. One Click: Press the Focus Button
2. Instant Start: Your 25-minute timer begins immediately
3. Zero Friction: No settings to adjust, no decisions to make
4. Pure Focus: Just you and your work

It's beautifully simple because focus should be simple.

The Science Behind the Simplicity

The Focus Button leverages two key psychological principles:

1. The Activation Energy Principle

Every additional step between "I want to focus" and "I'm focusing" creates friction. The Focus Button eliminates all friction, making it easier to start than to procrastinate.

2. The Commitment Device

By making focus as easy as a single click, you're creating a commitment device that helps you follow through on your intention to work deeply.

What's Next

The Focus Button is just the beginning. We're working on several exciting features that will make pomo-dojo even more powerful:

• Smart Focus Modes - Automatically adjust settings based on your work patterns
• Focus Analytics - Track your focus patterns and optimize your productivity
• Team Focus Sessions - Focus together with your team remotely
• Ambient Focus Sounds - Carefully curated audio to enhance concentration
