What is Do Now?
Do Now is a productivity and time management app designed to help users stay focused and accomplish more in less time. It utilizes the popular Pomodoro technique, which breaks work down into 25-minute chunks separated by 5-minute breaks. This method leverages the mind's tendency to wander after about 25 minutes of sustained focus.
Key features of Do Now include:
- Customizable Pomodoro timer with 25, 50, and 60 minute interval options
- Ability to create categorized task lists and select tasks to work on during each Pomodoro interval
- Notifications and alarms to alert you when it's time to take a break or start a new Pomodoro cycle
- Pomodoro statistics and tracking to visualize productivity over time
- Flexible settings to customize timer lengths, break times, alarm sounds, etc.
- Focus-assisting ambient sounds and the ability to integrate your own music
- Minimalist and unintrusive interface design to avoid distractions
Do Now aims to boost your ability to focus by encouraging you to single-task using the structured Pomodoro technique. By working in short bursts optimized for concentration and taking regular breaks, you can be more productive, avoid burnout, and enjoy your work.
