Want XP for this?

The same timer inside LockIn tracks your streak and awards XP when you finish.

How to use it

  1. Choose 25 minutes if you're starting cold — it's the easiest to commit to.
  2. Write down the single thing you'll do in this block before you press start.
  3. Take 5 minutes off after each block, 15–20 after the fourth.
  4. Use 45 or 60 minutes for essays and problem sets where switching costs you momentum.
