Focus 101

One thing at a time.

A day planner for brains that get distracted, overwhelmed or stuck. Instead of a long list it shows one task at a time, with a timer you can watch drain, three tiny first steps when you can't start, and a jar that fills with every win. One file that opens in your browser. No app, no account, no monthly fee, and it works without internet.

Sale price $5Normal price $1050% off until Oct 31

What's inside

One thing at a time

  • The Now screen: your one task, its first steps and a focus timer on a 60-minute dial that drains as you work, with the time it ends
  • A gentle chime 5 minutes and 1 minute before the end; if you run over, it says so calmly instead of ringing
  • Focus sounds made inside the file: brown noise, rain, waves, a fan or a ticking clock
  • Distracted? Park the thought in one line and get back to work
  • Breaks with their own timer

Getting started and choosing

  • I'm stuck: three tiny first steps for the task, with other ideas if they don't fit, and an optional 10-minute timer
  • Pick for me: a wheel that picks from what fits the minutes and energy you have
  • What fits right now: tasks tagged with energy (low, medium, high) and minutes light up when they fit
  • Brain dump: type everything, then sort each thing with one key into Today, This week or Someday

Your day

  • A timeline of today with a moving now line; click any spot to plan something there
  • Time left today as a row of hours, and what's next on your timeline
  • Morning and evening routines you can run one step at a time
  • Up next and this week's big 3 next to your Now task

Wins and rewards

  • Every finished task, focus session and routine drops a marble in this week's jar
  • A forgiving streak: a missed day can be forgiven (one or two a week, your choice)
  • Points for every win, spent on a reward menu you write yourself
  • A 5-minute weekly reset: look back, empty your head, clear old to-dos, pick your big 3

What you get

  • Focus 101 (one HTML file that opens in your web browser)

On your phone

On a phone the screens move to a tab bar at the bottom, and windows open as sheets you can reach with your thumb.

On iPhone or iPad, open it with Microsoft Edge. See how

Good to know

  • This is an interactive planner you open in a web browser. It is not a PDF or GoodNotes planner.
  • Opens in Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari on a computer, and in Chrome on Android phones and tablets. On iPhone and iPad, use Microsoft Edge.
  • Your entries are saved in the browser you open it with, on that device. To move to another device, download a backup in Settings and restore it there.
  • Private or incognito windows throw entries away when they close, so use a normal window.
  • ADHD-friendly means it's designed around common struggles like time blindness and getting started. It's a planner, not a treatment.
  • Digital item: nothing is shipped. For your own personal use.
