Windows 11 introduces a feature that helps you focus on work

The new tool is called Focus Sessions. It combines the To Do and Spotify apps into one targeted

efficiency package, which is available through the Alarms & Clocks app. Microsoft Product Director Panos Panay posted a video on Twitter presenting the new feature.

With Focus Sessionsthe user selects one of the To Do tasks, decides how much time is needed to complete it, and records it. Then he launches the “working” playlist in Spotify and starts the countdown timer. The authors of the development note that this approach will contribute to concentration on the task. With Focus Sessions, the user will be able to control the remaining time to complete a task and upcoming breaks.

The feature will be available in the new Windows 11. For now, it is only available to members of the Microsoft Insider Program on the Dev and Beta channels. The release of the stable version of the OS will take place in the fall of 2021.
