How to enable Focus Time
Enable Focus Time from the Focus Time page.
Choose between Proactive and Reactive mode.
Set a Focus Time goal using the slider and click Save.
Navigate to the Reclaim Planner or your calendar. Identify Focus events for this week and next.
Hint: If you selected Reactive mode, it’s possible that Reclaim hasn’t created any Focus events. If this is the case, that means you already have a sufficient amount of free time on your calendar.
How to reschedule a Focus Time block based on a conflicting meeting
On your calendar, find a Focus event.
Create a calendar event (in Google or Outlook Calendar) that conflicts with a Focus time block.
After about 15 seconds, verify that Reclaim has resolved the conflict and reallocated the lost Focus time during your week.
How to ask Reclaim to find a different time for Focus
From the Reclaim Planner, right-click on a Focus Time event and select Reschedule.
Select the minimum amount of time from now that you want Reclaim to consider rescheduling the Focus event.
Verify that Reclaim has rescheduled the Focus event.
Note: Focus blocks intelligently reschedule to the next best time, adapting around higher-priority items and meetings.
