Back in show 1032, Lee covered Session in one of the Tuesday Tip videos. Since this show was released, the application has developed significantly and he now uses it as his main tool for staying focused on his work. Session is an application that uses the tenets of the Pomodoro Technique to split the working day up into focused sessions of work, encouraging you to set intentions, eliminate distractions and take frequent breaks, ensuring you make the most of the time you have available.

Focusing on the Mac version in this video, Lee walks through not just how to use the app at a functional level, but also offers some ideas for how you may want to set it up for yourself. Lee also looks at some of the useful automation functionality Session has to offer, such as Shortcuts integration and the ability to support URL schemes, allowing you to start custom work sessions by clicking a link.

Session runs on macOS 10.15 or newer, and iOS 13.4 or later.

In this video, Lee introduces you to an application that can have a dramatic effect on your ability to achieve tasks in a relatively short, focused amount of time.

Session is available on both macOS and iOS and here, Lee guides you through the Mac version of the app. You learn how to set timers, notifications, and block tempting websites and applications in order to finish your working day knowing you have achieved what you set out to do.
