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.

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.
