How to automate a Focus Session

You can automatically start a Focus Session by creating an alert. Alerts can be created by clicking on  Goals & Alerts from the top navigation. Make sure you click on the Alerts tab at the top of the page. 

To get started you'll need to add a few conditions, so RescueTime knows exactly when to block distractions. 

1
Determine when you want the alert to trigger. It can be based on the time spent on a specific category, activity, or a productivity score. 
2
Indicate during what time frame you'd like the session to start.
3
Specify how long you want to block your distractions by choosing one of the options from the drop-down menu.

In the example above, the Focus Session will start after one hour of distracting time Monday through Friday at any time between 6 AM and 8 PM. The session will last one hour.
