I have found it isn’t the apps that make you do but your energy at times if the day and the little rituals you put in place. They help you get things done.

Agreed Emma. When I use an app like Rize, it shows me patterns in distractions that I wasn't aware of. I think this comes due to the low energy and shifting to distractions to become more energized.

This was such a helpful and relatable read—thank you for walking us through your real-world experience! I love how you highlighted the difference between having a list and actually creating structure with accountability. The insight about distractions slipping in silently when there’s no system to catch them really resonated. Rize sounds like a powerful tool for building awareness and staying intentional. I especially appreciated your reminder that it’s not just about getting more done—it’s about learning where your time really goes. Looking forward to trying this out!

Thank you Rachel. I do hope Rize can help you see patterns in your own time management and you will improve for the better. Cheers!

A to-do list helps me feel organized, but it rarely helps me do. What changed things for me wasn’t just tracking my time, but understanding the patterns behind it... The energy in the morning, the after lunch state of mind, the better time for meetings, etc.

I agree. Rize can track the time you are likely to be distracted as you switch between apps. This insight helps you know which are your 'holy grail' hours where you can really do great work.
