      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi everyone, I have published  “jeu chimie” , a simple Android puzzle game where each player tries to capture the opponent's points by circling them. The game allows playing against the PC with 3 levels of difficulties, the AI code behind the ‘hard’ level is on beta; are you keen to give it a try by beating the AI with the highest possible score?&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Easily distracted while working? Here are 5 ways to stay focused and cut distractions</title>
      <dc:creator>Tresor Mvumbi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 16 Apr 2020 06:34:15 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/tresormvumbi/easily-distracted-while-working-here-are-5-ways-to-stay-focused-and-cut-distractions-flb</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/tresormvumbi/easily-distracted-while-working-here-are-5-ways-to-stay-focused-and-cut-distractions-flb</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Are you easily distracted while working? Here are 5 ways Flowify can help you stay focused and cut distractions:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.flowify.flowify"&gt;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.flowify.flowify&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1) Set clear objectives before start working&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Starting with the end in mind is the first step toward a rewarding and productive work session. With Flowify, create a list of clear objectives before starting a work session.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2) Work on one task at a time with a time limit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Timeboxing and focusing on a single task are proven productivity techniques. With Flowify, set a time limit on each task. Flowify features a countdown timer that creates a sense of urgency and helps you stay engaged with work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3) Time your breaks and be reminded to get back to work&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It is not uncommon for a short break to turn into hours of work snooze.&lt;br&gt;
With Flowify, define in advance the duration of your breaks and be notified to return to work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4) Beep generator to work mindfully&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Being regularly aware of what you are up to can help notice quickly when you are distracted and then take action to quickly refocus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With Flowify, set a subtle background beep at a regular time interval to keep you mindful while working. The beep breaks an otherwise unnoticed mental distraction and triggers to refocus on the work. The beeps can as well be used to gamify work by mentally setting nano-objectives to reach before the next beep; this maximizes engagement and focus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5) Track time usage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Knowing the actual time each task requires helps to set more realistic future goals that help stay engaged with work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;With Flowify, track the time spent on each task in comparison to the time budgeted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.flowify.flowify"&gt;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.flowify.flowify&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Flowify - an app to optimize flow state</title>
      <dc:creator>Tresor Mvumbi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2020 11:45:41 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://dev.to/tresormvumbi/flowify-an-app-to-optimize-flow-state-5ddl</link>
      <guid>https://dev.to/tresormvumbi/flowify-an-app-to-optimize-flow-state-5ddl</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;My first Android app is now live in the play store 🎉 🎉 🎉 : &lt;a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.flowify.flowify"&gt;https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.flowify.flowify&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Flowify is a productivity app that leverages the timeboxing technique to maximize focus and flow state while working. The app features a work session planner to create work and break time blocks. There is a built-in automatic task generator that uses a customizable pattern to generate work and break time blocks; this feature can be used to generate pomodoros for example.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The app features a count-down timer to track the time spent and remaining on each task (or break); it is possible to add more time to the current task while working. The app triggers a notification (sound and/or vibration) when the allocated time has elapsed.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Flowify also features a subtle background beep that sounds every two minutes (this interval can be customized). The beep breaks an otherwise unnoticed mental distraction and triggers to refocus on the work. The beeps can as well be used to gamify work by mentally setting nano-objectives to reach before the next beep; thus transforming the work session into a beat-the-clock game that maximizes engagement and focus.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other features offered:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Time tracking: the app tracks and stores the time spent on each task&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Voice alerts: the app announces the work to do and the allocated time when a task starts; it also notifies when one minute is left and when the time is over;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Displays a widget in the notifications and lock-screen with controls to pause and start the timer, add more time to the current task and move between tasks;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Displays in real-time statistics about the current work session&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
