Anti-Cheat Focus Session

A single timer session designed with integrity measures to ensure authentic productivity tracking.

Three-Part Structure:

1. Pre-Planning

Form to declare what you will accomplish in the session

2. Timer

Focused countdown period tracking actual work time

3. Post-Submission

Locked form collecting execution results and outcomes

Anti-Cheat Features: Pre-planning data locks post-session fields, preventing retroactive changes and ensuring honest productivity reporting.

Evolution & Expansion:

This system continuously evolves with enhanced tracking, better validation methods, and expanded data collection to provide more accurate productivity insights.
