Session: Protecting Focus in a Distracted World
Session is a productivity app designed to help you maintain focus by combining time blocking with distraction control. It’s especially useful if you find yourself constantly pulled away by notifications.
Here is why: Session lets you set structured blocks of time for deep work. During a session, distracting websites and apps are blocked, so your environment supports your focus.
Let’s break it down. You choose how long you want to work, hit start, and the app begins both tracking your time and keeping distractions out. Once the session ends, you get a summary of how you did.
Session also includes progress tracking. You can see how many focused hours you’ve logged in a week and set goals to gradually increase them.
One useful feature is integration with your calendar. This allows you to plan focused sessions around meetings and other commitments, making sure your best hours are reserved for your most important work.
Next steps: Try running a single two-hour block with Session, with all distractions turned off. At the end, reflect on how much more you achieved compared to a normal day.
Bottom line: Session isn’t just a timer. It helps shape your environment so you can stay on task and get meaningful work done.
