Breathing for Focus
A short breathing practice can clear mental noise and steady your attention. GoFocus’s Deep Focus mode uses a slower 6-6 rhythm that many find helpful before a task that needs concentration.
How to use breathing for focus
- Open GoFocus and select Deep Focus (slower inhale and exhale).
- Set a 2-minute timer.
- Follow the “Breathe In” / “Breathe Out” cue without rushing.
- When the timer ends, take a breath or two in silence, then start your work.
