Make timer get itself back online if no graceful exit is found in the Focus note? 🤔
Add time stamps to log entries
Show duration in cycle count choices
cycle one out of what?
handle cycles in the past and future
Add 2mins reminder
error when focus doesn't exist
name | Amplefocus |
description | Pomodoro but better. |
instructions |  Type {Focus} in your Daily Jot to start your work cycles. A cycle is comprised of a Work Interval and a Break Interval. Those are 30 and 10 minutes long by default, but you can change that by editing the first 2 lines of the plugin code. Upon starting the plugin, you will be asked for how many cycles you would like to focus.Also prompted upon invoking the plugin are some optional questions to help you narrow down your focus. The answers will be inserted in your daily jot. After successfully starting a work session, the plugin will automatically open the Focus note for you, where you can see how much time you have left of the current interval. Feel free to keep this note open in your sidebar if you want. It is encouraged to use the prompts that the plugin adds to your Daily Jot, for example to answer the questions that help you scope the extent of your work, or to write a "debrief" after every work cycle, as well as to create a plan for the upcoming cycle. Change log: August 18th, 2023: Upgraded from "Pomodoro" to "Amplefocus", which should have a bunch more functionality Added journaling prompts to help with planning the current work session Added an animated "time remaining" progress bar |
