Time to Focus

Time to Focus is a small web app with a countdown timer, breathing aid, and text messages to help you focus.
Use it at the start of a meeting to ensure all participants are fully engaged and focused.
Or, you can use it for your personal deep work session to facilitate a calm and focused beginning.
Simply open the following link to see it in action!

The countdown will commence immediately, and the focus time will conclude once the circle in the center has completely disappeared.

How to use

At the beginning of your meeting, share your browser window in the video conference call or project it on the wall in your meeting room.
Introduce the 1-minute focus with the following words
"I want to give us all the gift of joint focus and invite you to participate in a 1-minute focus! All you have to do is silently watch, read, and start to concentrate. Let's begin!"
Keep it simple. Don't explain too much, don't ask for permission, or engage in discussion. It's a 60-second time investment that will be highly valuable for all participants. They need to experience it, so just do it!

Tips:
Bookmark the link or include it in the agenda of your meeting.
It's important to establish a habit. Using it only once is not recommended. Once all participants get used to it and experience the benefits, they will never let you start a meeting without the joint time to focus!
Pro Tip: Try appending "?color=lightred" or "?color=growhuman" at the end of the URL to get different color variants, e.g. https://growhuman.io/focus/meeting?color=lightred.

Focus in a meeting benefits everyone involved as it enhances communication, efficiency, decision-making, and overall productivity.

Effective Communication: When all participants are focused, they can clearly understand the information being shared, ask relevant questions, and contribute meaningful insights.
Efficient Use of Time: Meetings can be time-consuming. Being focused ensures that the meeting stays on track, decisions are made efficiently, and the meeting concludes on time.
Better Decision Making: Focused participants can more accurately process the information presented, leading to more informed and effective decision-making.
Improved Engagement: When participants are focused, they're more likely to engage in the discussion, contributing to a more productive meeting.
Respect for Others: By focusing, participants show respect for the time and efforts of others in the meeting.
Reduced Misunderstandings: Focused participation can reduce the chances of miscommunication or misunderstandings.
Actionable Outcomes: A focused meeting is more likely to result in clear, actionable outcomes as participants fully engage in the process.

Improved Quality: With fewer distractions, you're less likely to make mistakes. This can lead to better outcomes and higher-quality work.
Better Time Management: Focusing on a single task can help manage your time better as it prevents multitasking, which can often lead to wasted time and inefficiency.
Reduced Stress: When you focus on one task at a time, you can reduce the feeling of being overwhelmed by multiple tasks, thus reducing stress levels.
Enhanced Learning and Creativity: Focused work can enhance your ability to learn new skills and boost creativity, as it allows for deeper thought and reflection.
Greater Satisfaction: Completing tasks efficiently and effectively can lead to a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
Improved Memory: Focused work can improve your memory as you fully engage with the task at hand, enhancing information retention.
