Lifeline awards points for a work rhythm of focus and balance. You get one point for every minute in session and one for every minute following your recommended break time. There are just three exceptions to this mechanism:
- 25 minutes minimum: to make meaningful progress, you need to give an activity undivided attention for at least 25 minutes (one 🍅). For this reason, you don’t receive any points if you break your session before the 25-minute mark.
- Bonus points (focus): the longer you stay focused on one thing, the more likely you are to reach a state of flow (being “in the zone”). This is why Lifeline awards you increasing bonus points for reaching 50 minutes, 75 minutes, and the 100-minute mark.
Be warned, though: after 90 minutes of constant focus, your ability to concentrate diminishes, and it’s better to take a long break. This is why you don’t receive additional bonus points if you continue past 100 minutes.
- Bonus points (breaks): taking time away from your computer after a session of deep work is essential to recharge and reflect. Building this habit increases your productivity and overall well-being. This is why Lifeline gives you bonus points for completing the entire recommended break time after a session or meeting.
