In this day and age, distractions are there everywhere. Online, offline, whether you are meditating, working out, doing your day to day job - there is ever presence distractions in the form of so many tasks that needs to be done. We all have lists, note taking apps in various devices, in cloud or on your fridge, minor tasks as well as major tasks that you break down to more simpler, manageable tasks. Still, even when lots of minor tasks are automated or "taken care of", there are larger goals and tasks which often get affected. Most people like to follow templates for tasks - big or small. We often start with - "What has someone else done with this?", "Can we copy that make it better?", "Can we do something different?" and so on.

 

Regardless, there is so much to do and calendar is always full. One has automated bots and in some cases humans who help take care of things to some extent. But these are all relatively simple tasks. For instance, no note taking apps has any of the following usually:

• Learn a new language

• Get a <insert big personal project here> done ( write a book, take a dance class )

• find the best home/school/neighborhood combo

• launch a startup in a creative space

• write a TV show or a movie

• or think even bigger .. as a CEO or a School Principal or someone that is responsible for some big complex tasks

• ...

​

In all these cases, what is required is "Sustained power of concentration". Not 30 minutes of work and some interruption or any time blocker or farming out simpler broken down tasks to others. Sustained focus. Uninterrupted focus. What is the next molecule compound to discover? What is the highest I can go with yoga or workout? What is the most strenuous way I would push myself at work ( hopefully your own startup!) and so on. This is in some way, retreating to a secluded space and be all by oneself and focus on one thing. Maybe retreating to a top of a mountain and be alone and do your stuff for few hours and then magically use a StarTrek transponder to land back at your home or work!

This app is more of an abstraction. And it tries do help you do some of the above. It is not a simulator. It is not a 20 minute pie chart app. It will not block you from checking your phone or lock your browser or disable your computing device and other distractions. It wont keep distractions away and it will force you to create steps to make sure you create this secluded space and maintain it. It is tough and humans thru ages have found it so too, but still there are people that surround us - doctors, teachers, firemen, policemen, elite soldiers, top leadership in government or industry, your day to day friend who might be climbing from different depths of the life to ace a particular subject in school, or anyone else that you can think of who seems to able to focus very well on a task in hand amid so many distractions. This app aims to help people in that direction. There are many ways to look at it and we will cover all that in the blog section. And we hope, you and the community will create better recipes on how to use this app.
