Sessions that hold the line
Everyone has a sharp window. Almost nobody protects it. Groovy finds yours and puts a fence around it — a visible timer, quiet notifications, and somewhere to park the interruptions.
Anatomy of a session
Name one outcome
A session starts with a single sentence — draft the intro, clear the invoices. If you can't name the outcome, the session isn't ready to start.
Pick an honest length
Groovy defaults to the length you actually finish — 50 or 90 minutes for most people — and gently questions the heroic two hours you'll abandon.
Let the quiet land
Notifications hold their peace for the session; the phone stays face down. Urgent things park themselves in a list you'll see the moment the ring closes.
Close the ring
The log records what happened: length held, distractions parked, one-line note. Over weeks this becomes the most motivating spreadsheet you've never had to make.
The window, not the willpower
Your sharp hours, found and fenced
Most people's energy isn't flat across the day — it spikes somewhere mid-morning, sags after lunch, and picks up briefly towards evening. Groovy watches your check-ins and session logs to locate the spike, then schedules focus blocks there by default.
The difference is mechanical, not motivational: the same ninety minutes before your peak feels like wading through wet sand; inside your peak it barely hurts. Moving the block is cheaper than upgrading the willpower.
If your days are meeting-shaped, Groovy fences the largest surviving gap instead — and shows you, gently, what that hour could hold if it stopped being bookable.
Distraction parking
When something intrudes mid-session — a name you must remember, an email you must not answer — it goes to the parking list in two taps. The thought is kept; the thread is cut.
Parked, then triaged
When the ring closes, the parking list opens for a ninety-second triage: do, diary or drop. Most parked items, reviewed a hour later, turn out to be drop.
Breaks that count
Long sessions earn structured breaks — stand, water, window. The break is part of the session, not a failure of it, so the ring doesn't punish the pause.
Study mode
A 50/10 variant with spaced recall prompts for revision and coursework. Same fence, different furniture.
