Make the first step smaller
When a task feels too large, the useful question is not always how to finish it. It can be how to make the next action small enough to start. Choose one visible step, set a short session and remove the need to decide again until the timer ends.
A 25-minute session can work for a settled day. On a harder day, a shorter interval may create less resistance. The point is a predictable container, not a score for how much you achieved.

Does a focus timer treat ADHD?
No. A timer is an organisational tool, not treatment. Consider professional support for clinical questions or care.
Should every session be 25 minutes?
No. Use a session length that is realistic for the task and your current capacity.
