monkmode

The Goal

The ultimate goal of monkmode is to help you achieve a monk-like state of focus, allowing you to maximize deep work. It does this by breaking your overall focus goal into structured focus sessions, short breaks, and long breaks. This approach is a well-known technique used by high achievers and students alike. By working in focused bursts, you can maintain higher levels of concentration, which in turn helps you accomplish more.
