Open WhiteboardFor many, especially those with ADHD, time is an abstract concept. 'Time blindness' makes 10 minutes feel like 30, or vice versa. A visual online timer anchors you in the present. Watching the seconds count down creates a 'visual urgency' that hacks your brain's executive function, helping you start tasks (task initiation) and stay on track
Stop multitasking. Time blocking is the practice of dedicating specific windows of time to single tasks. Whether it's a 60-minute study session or a 15-minute email sprint, using a digital timer allows you to externalize your focus. In AFFiNE, you can plan these blocks in your calendar and execute them with our built-in timer
Flow state isn't magic; it's engineered. By setting a 45-minute timer for a single objective, you eliminate the cognitive load of 'watching the clock.' You are free to immerse yourself in your work, knowing the alarm will notify you when it's time to recharge
