It\u2019s all too easy to allow distractions such as social media or videos to seduce us from the things we\u2019re supposed to be doing \u2014 such as, say, writing articles about Windows 11. Features such as Focus assist are now being included with operating systems to try to help us keep our eyes on the road, so to speak. <\/p>\n

Microsoft\u2019s Focus assist was first introduced in a 2018 update of Windows 10, where it replaced a feature known as Quiet Hours, and while Windows 11 doesn\u2019t offer any radical updates, it has made the feature easier to use. Focus assist stops notifications from popping up on your screen and can be activated automatically when you put on your display on presentation mode, are playing a game, or are using an app in full-screen mode. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll show you how to edit the automatic sessions in a moment. First, here\u2019s how to manually begin a Focus assist session.<\/p>\n

Start a session<\/h2>\n

In Windows 11, Focus assist has been made a part of the Clock app. To start a session manually, type \u201cClock\u201d into your taskbar\u2019s Search icon. You\u2019ll be guided to a page that helps you set up the length of time you want the session to last; you can also set a daily goal if you wish. And there are tiles that let you link your Spotify account (should you have one) to your focus sessions or use Microsoft To Do to pick a task for that session. Don\u2019t need either of these? Keep reading.<\/p>\n

Now part of the Clock app, Focus assist lets you set goals for keeping on track.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

If you click on the settings icon at the bottom left of the Clock app, you can adjust the length of your focus time (including breaks) and select a sound to play when your focus period (or your break) ends. And you can get rid of the Spotify and \/ or To Do tiles.<\/p>\n

The Clock settings page also lets you pick a theme for the app and tweak your notification settings, including which notifications should not be filtered out during a Focus assist session.<\/p>\n

To personalize this feature a bit more and to edit the automatic settings, you need to go to \u201cFocus assist settings.\u201d <\/p>\n

Focus assist settings<\/h2>\n

You can get to Focus assist settings in several ways: by clicking on \u201cSettings\u201d > \u201cSystem\u201d > \u201cFocus assist,\u201d by using the taskbar search icon to find \u201cFocus assist,\u201d or by clicking on the system clock at the right edge of the taskbar and then on \u201cFocus assist settings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Within system settings, you can decide when you want Focus assist to activate, and for which notifications.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

Once you\u2019re there, there are two main sections. <\/p>\n

The first section lets you turn Focus assist on and off and set certain parameters when it is active:<\/p>\n
