Still #1 for Me

Focus is still my go-to app. for time-boxing/task management. I’ve put together a nightly drawing regimen consisting of five separate components (contour, perspective, two different gesture exercises, and theroetical exploration). Depending on the night, I have anywhere from 1-5 hours. Focus gives me the flexibility to customize the pomodoro. On nights without much time, I’ll do ten-minute intervals for each task. On nights with more time, I’ll do 15, 20, or 25-minute chunks (you can choose any length of time, though). I always take the in-between breaks. While doing my gesture drawings, I use another simple timer app. with repeating one-minute intervals. Of course, this method (or one you come up with on your own) could be applied to any routine. I just use it for art.

Between full-time work and school, plus severe ADHD, it can really be a struggle for me to stay on task, even when it’s something I enjoy. I’m exhausted, and need motivation and externalized reminders of time to keep me moving. Focus has been tremendously helpful with this.
