Wait— focas ? That’s not a typo. It’s a reminder.

That’s it. Set a timer. No phone. No second tab. Just you and that one core activity. When the timer goes off, you can stop. But most of the time, you won’t want to.

But “FOCAS” is lighter. It’s a verb and a nudge. It says: You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to pick one thing and not run away from it for a little while. 1.
