The Focus Panel

The focus panel helps you select an action or set of actions based on specific contexts to make best use your time. For instance, you might have a spare 30 minutes and want to get a few 5 minute actions done, or you might feel like a chat and select all those phone-based actions as your focus.

Keep the following points in mind when using the focus panel:

• Selecting multiple contexts shows actions that have ANY of those contexts specified.
• Selecting multiple tags shows actions that have ALL of those tags specified.
• Selecting a time in the Focus panel shows actions that have a time less than or equal to the time specified; that means, all actions you could complete in the time entered.
• Selecting an energy level in the Focus panel will show those actions that require that level of energy OR LESS; that is, those actions that you have sufficient energy to complete. For example, selecting "some" in the Focus panel will show actions that have "none" and "some" specified as energy levels.
• Use the "Reset" button to clear the focus panel and show all actions.
• The focus panel retains your selections when you switch tabs. However, only contexts and tags that are relevant in the current tab will be shown.
