The other productivity tool I want is something that helps me focus, *without* rigid schedules or artificial time slices. An alternate mechanism, which I find valuable but have never seen productized, is *deliberate transitions*.

So, if you want to take a break, you can do that—but as a conscious choice, rather than an absent-minded distraction. If you want to browse Twitter, you can do that, but as a conscious choice, not out of habit.

I think the mechanism of deliberate decisions could work better. Especially if combined with some desired allocation of time to different buckets, and something that nudged you towards whichever bucket was relatively farthest from todays' goal.

I kind of want something that takes over my browser new-tab experience, so that every time I open a tab it reminds me of what I *decided* to do, and prompts me to either stick to that, or make a deliberate transition.

Yeah, that's good! I do like the mechanism of snoozing emails. Maybe it can be applied to tasks. Except I want something that prevents me from just snoozing to tomorrow, every day. Or to next week, every week, for weeks on end. Up the stakes somehow.

Very nice, I saw the launch announcement a few months ago but wasn’t sure why I should try it over my current blocker.
