Launching Blitz Mode (Focus session)

Blitz Mode is the core focus experience of Blitzit.

• To enter Blitz Mode, start by placing your tasks in the Today column in priority order (top = highest priority).

Note: If all tasks in Today have scheduled times that are not due yet, Blitz Mode won’t start yet. Only tasks past their scheduled time or without a time set are eligible for blitzing.

• Once your Today list is ready, click Blitzit now to begin your focus session. Blitz Mode opens the Focus Panel, a streamlined interface that shows your tasks for the day.

• Your top task will automatically start a live timer, with the remaining tasks listed below.
