Introducing: My Focus
Managing your day to day and reaching a good work life balance is nothing short of challenging. Without solid planning, things can become quickly chaotic and affect your productivity - we’ve been there! This is why we’ve created: My Focus
What is My Focus?
My focus is a personal area for each user that is all about empowering the individual to manage life and work tasks, reduce stress, and help increase focus. It is comprised of 3 main parts:
-
My schedule - Sync an external calendar and monday.com tasks to create a master calendar. All of your tasks, personal and professional, will show up in one centralized place. You have the ability to slot tasks from monday.com into the calendar to create an organized, manageable schedule. The tasks will sync back to your external calendar.
-
My items - This feature is similar to the current, My Week, with the goal of giving context to best manage your day. Quickly reference, What is overdue? Due today or this week? and so on.
-
Mindset - This feature offers a set of questions (check-ins) that are triggered at a certain time period. For example, every day at 9:00 am, you will receive a question “What is your goal for today?” and at 5:00 pm you’ll get “What did you achieve today?”. This is a private space to slow down, set a goal, and define success for yourself. Questions are entirely customizable - consider Mindset to be a personal moment to focus your day and hold yourself accountable.
How do I access My Focus?
This feature will be fully released in the coming weeks. We’re still working out the kinks and gather feedback from an initial alpha group. Stay tuned!
You can expect to see this feature available on the web browser, however it was designed for primary use on the mobile app. As the work environment is changing, we wanted to offer the ability to establish focus and create structure from anytime and anywhere.
On your app, select the menu at the top left of the screen > Select My Focus from the drawer. Once selected, you will see the various sections across the top as individual tabs. Select the calendar to sync your external calendar, My Items to view items, etc.
What’s next?
We want your feedback! Given that this is a very new feature, we’d love to hear your thoughts! Please comment below or send us an email to let us know what you think or any ideas you have for improvement!
