Welcome to Really Focus! This guide will help you set up your account and start using our productivity tools to manage your day more effectively.
1. Setting Up Your Account
After signing up, you'll want to complete these initial steps:
Complete your profile: Add your name, timezone, and profile picture
Create your team: If you're working with others, create a team and invite them
Connect your services: Link your email and calendar to get the most from Really Focus
2. Understanding the 1-3-5 Method
Really Focus uses the 1-3-5 method to help you organize your day:
1 Big Task: Your main priority for the day
3 Medium Tasks: Supporting tasks that require moderate effort
5 Small Tasks: Quick wins that can be completed in minutes
This balanced approach helps you make meaningful progress while still handling smaller responsibilities.
Pro Tip
The 1-3-5 method is flexible. If you have a particularly demanding big task, you might reduce your medium or small tasks accordingly. The goal is balance, not rigid adherence to numbers.
3. Creating Your First Day Plan
To create your first day plan:
Go to the Day Planner tab in the navigation
Click "Create New Plan"
Add your tasks for the day, categorizing them as big, medium, or small
Alternatively, use "Auto Plan with AI" to have our assistant create a balanced plan based on your current tasks
