Built a lightweight tool to beat cognitive friction using the 10-minute rule
The hardest part of deep work isn’t sustaining focus—it’s surviving the initial limbic resistance during the first 10 minutes.
I built Limbic Bridge (Proof of Focus Dashboard) to solve the starting hurdle:
- 10-minute commitment: Lowers the cognitive barrier so your brain stops resisting the start.
- Distraction capture: Quickly dump intrusive thoughts/leaks without leaving the workflow.
- Proof of Focus verification: Validates and locks in your session once flow state kicks in.
It's completely free to try: https://limbic-focus-v1-6204.ai.studio/
Built this to scratch my own itch—would love to hear your feedback on whether it helps with your starting friction!
