Allowing a Routine to end early

All unfinished Routines will automatically cancel at midnight, giving you a fresh start each day. This reset is important because it encourages daily progress and helps maintain a consistent writing habit. By beginning each day with a clean slate, you can concentrate on your writing without the burden or guilt of unfinished tasks from the previous day.

Always

This feature allows you to end a Routine at any time, even if you haven't fulfilled your time commitment. If this option is selected, a small 'x' will appear in the session status view. Simply press the 'x' to end the session immediately.

If another Routine is scheduled to start

This option allows you to end an active Routine early if another scheduled Routine is due. Let's say you have a session scheduled to start at 8:00 AM with a 60-minute engagement timer, and your current Routine is taking longer than 60 minutes to complete. You have another Routine scheduled to begin at 9:00 AM, so the active Routine will end, and the new Routine will start even if you haven't completed your commitment. This is a useful option to prioritize tasks later in the day. Enabling this option ensures that another scheduled Routine starts on time.

By typing a phrase

This new End-Early Policy feature provides flexibility while maintaining accountability. It allows you to end a Routine early by typing a specific phrase a configurable number of times. This intentional friction serves as a deterrent, ensuring you only exit a Routine when truly necessary. Additionally, it enables you to cancel an individual Routine without disrupting your entire schedule for the day.

Never

This option is the secret sauce for getting things done. It requires you to complete your time commitment before ending the Session, eliminating the temptation to quit early. This option ensures you can't wait out the clock, helping you stay accountable for your Session. Customize and tailor your Routines to fit your unique needs, allowing you to build almost any schedule that suits your lifestyle. You can even create multiple Routines throughout the day to optimize every aspect of your daily activities, leading to better time management and improved focus. You can also schedule breaks within your Routines to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
