Workflows
How Focus fits into the client workflow.
Open
Start from the module when this context matters.
Use Focus when attention is the main constraint and the client needs a contained work block.
Capture
Record the important details.
Open Focus, choose a preset, optionally link the session to the work, then start the timer. Completed sessions become evidence for review.
Organize
Keep the record findable.
Use the module structure so the information does not disappear into memory or scattered notes.
Connect
Link the module to surrounding context.
Related goals, tasks, people, calendar dates, or review flows make the record more useful.
Review
Return when planning or reflecting.
The module becomes part of the client’s ongoing life system.
Act
Turn signal into the next useful step.
When the record implies action, send it back into Today, Tasks, Goals, or the relevant module.
