Ready Time
You know what you need to do. Ready Time helps you know when to start.
You ate. Now you're on the couch. Or scrolling. Or resting your eyes for a minute. The afternoon feels like a wall, and getting back to your desk feels like climbing it. The work didn't get harder. The transition from break mode to work mode is a full restart, and without a sequence, that restart keeps waiting.

A lot of people feel an energy dip after eating. But the bigger issue is re-initiation. You were in flow before lunch, and now your brain has to cold-start. Open the laptop, remember what you were doing, load the context back, push through the first few minutes of resistance. Without a cue to start, the couch wins.
Ready Time builds a 20-minute re-entry: clean up lunch, make coffee, walk for 5 minutes, sit down, review your task list, and start the easiest thing first. The sequence is designed to be low-friction. Each step is small enough that doing it feels easier than deciding. By the time you're through it, you're working again.
Plan a short runway instead of waiting to feel focused: clean up, make a drink, take a brief walk or stretch, review the next task, start the easiest piece. Fifteen to twenty minutes of re-entry beats forty-five minutes of half-scrolling while you get ready to restart.
The sleepy dip varies, but the restart problem is often re-initiation more than food. If you regularly lose 30 to 60 minutes after lunch, put a timed re-entry at the end of the meal so the cold start has a script. Momentum returns after the first small task, rather than before it.
Get a nudge at the right moment, while there's still time to act.
Each step gets its own alert, so you know what's next and how long you have.
With Premium, a Live Activity keeps the countdown on your Lock Screen between alerts.
Save this routine in Ready Time and it tells you when to start each step.
