The task is still there. But where were you?

A task title tells you what needs doing. It doesn’t always tell you how to get back into it.

In the AddvancedFocus website preview, pausing a session gives you a place to leave a short return note. “Next: write one rough sentence” is enough. When you resume, the note stays with the action.

The decision

Keep the note beside the task and timer. Make it optional. Let someone resume even if they had no time to write anything before stepping away.

What we still need to learn

Does this reduce the effort of returning in everyday use? When does a prompt help, and when does it get in the way? Those are questions for future participant feedback—not outcomes we’ve established.

The website preview clears notes when you leave. Persistent context is part of the full product’s development.
