Time to start marketing....
I guess this is where social media comes in to play. Am I right to say video is king?

Here is my first attempt not sure if it's "right" or not but I'm vibing

@ionleu https://t.co/OmnqFlda9K - start moving more during your 9-5

[Idleshift @idleshift_]

By integrating AI into our platform we have moved from a 1 size fits all approach to something that's unique and personal to people's goals.

Bite size exercises you can do if your
- recovering from burnout

When you actually think about it, sitting at your desk 8 hours a day five days a week without thinking about the impact this might have on your health is crazy.

Yet this is the norm for so many people...

Had a super reflective weekend building idleshift.

Cleaned the UI and removed the noise of features that weren't contributing to our goal.

Getting people to move more during their 9-5 desk job

They're surprisingly easy to follow.

MONDAY ALERT⚠️

Sitting reduces blood flow and can cause a drop in focus.

Want to get the ideas flowing?

Start moving...

[Idleshift @idleshift_]

Movement = Motivation

The hardest part is starting

[Idleshift @idleshift_]

Spending hours on zoom calls? make sure your body doesn't check out for an early retirement. A few small movements can make a massive difference #deskworkout

There are so many people who work remotely and are facing burnout. The commute from bed to desk doesn't do your mind or body any favours.

What habits do you have that pays your future self?

[Idleshift @idleshift_]

What you see vs. What the user sees...

[Idleshift @idleshift_]

@samm_duc Wise words, sticking the vision 👌

2) Trying to tread the line between keeping the focus screens professional but engaging - is it too minimal?

Complete tasks or exercise to complete harvests. The more harvests completed the more productive your day was..

Stages to follow

The final focus game we have built.

The burn out board 🔥

You start your day full of energy, but if you don't do anything to maintain that energy you will be left feeling burnt out.

How many cells are still lit by the end of the day?

Finally - you complete an exercise/ task that "harvests" your crop and you go back to the start with 1 harvest logged.

[Idleshift @idleshift_]

Another exercise/ task complete and your ready for harvest

[Idleshift @idleshift_]

Next exercise or task complete your crop starts to grow

[Idleshift @idleshift_]

First task/ exercise complete- you water your crop

[Idleshift @idleshift_]

Wanted to kick things off by sharing the "focus" screen designs.

1) the glass of water.

Decays a level every 25 minutes (a nod to pomodoro)

Fill your glass in the morning and keep it replenished by doing movements at your desk.

Here it goes....

Starting an online journal of building idleshift (I think that's what I will call it)

The aspiration is to provide a clean/mininal "focus" web app that you can have open at your desk.

The idea is that movement = Motivation.

You are your own focus timer..
