Additional Information
Focus Mode
Focus mode can be particularly helpful when users need to block out distractions and concentrate on a specific task or project. For example, if a user has a deadline approaching for a particular project, they can activate Focus mode and include only tasks related to that project. This will help them avoid getting distracted by other tasks or projects and stay focused on completing the project on time.
Once the designated time period for Focus mode ends, all tasks and projects will become visible again. Users can also choose to exit Focus mode manually if they need to work on a different task or project.
In addition to helping users stay focused, Focus mode can also help reduce stress and increase productivity by allowing users to break down larger projects into smaller, more manageable tasks. This can make it easier for users to stay motivated and track their progress as they work toward completing their goals.
