50-minute deep work sprint

Build a deliberate practice around long-form focus. This Study Spaces template balances a quick kickoff, a single uninterrupted stretch, and a short reflection so you can queue the next block with confidence.

Phase

Kickoff (2 min)

State the one outcome you’ll ship. Pin it in the task sidebar so it stays in view.

Phase

Deep work (45 min)

Mute, hide chat, and lean on the streak overlay so you don’t touch other tabs.

Phase

Wrap (3 min)

Share the win, log the block to a Track, and adjust duration before the next sprint.

Preset durations

Pick the block that matches your work

50 / 10

Default deep work preset. Use it for weekly writing labs or product spikes.

80 / 20

Great for makers who need a wider flow state—set it once and Study Spaces remembers it.

90-minute focus wave

Pair two back-to-back timers with a scheduled bio break for hackathons.

Team-ready extras

  • Name the room after your ritual (e.g., the Deep Lab room) so analytics stay easy to scan.
  • Surface the room in `RoomDiscoveryPanel` so teammates can drop in mid-sprint.
  • Queue the next block via `onTimeAdjustCommit` so the duration stays consistent.

Integrations

Extend the sprint beyond the timer

Tracks

Bundle recurring deep work blocks into Thesis Momentum or Side Project Hyperfocus.

Analytics

Tag sprints by label so you can see how many deep work hours each teammate logs per week.

Live presence

Presence pills show who’s actively sprinting—perfect for hybrid teams.
