Stillsand: Meditation & Focus

Is Stillsand just another task manager? In a way, yes. It has a to-do list and a timer, and it helps you break a big task into small steps. But above all, it is a place to look after your mind. Some things you know are good for your future, yet right now you simply don't want to do them. The longer they wait, the heavier your mood becomes. Stillsand starts where that weight starts. Beginning is hard, and often so is noticing how you feel. So Stillsand makes room for the different moments of your mind. When you feel uneasy or scattered, we won't tell you to "just do five minutes and see," or push you to do what you don't want to do. A Zen saying goes: eat when hungry, sleep when tired.
