Focus game · 2 minutes
You can focus. Obviously.Until something pings.
Three tiny tasks: count some circles, spot the odd letter, remember five words. Easy. Except notifications keep popping up while you work: messages, likes, a parcel, breaking news. Open them or ignore them, it's up to you. We count what actually happens.
Under 2 minutes3 tasksNo sound
Four kinds of attention
We don't ask how focused you think you are. We count how many notifications you opened, how much time they cost you, and how well you did on the tasks in between.
The LaserPing all you like. You're busy.
The GlancerA quick peek, then straight back.
The Multitask MirageDoing two things at once. Doing both a bit worse.
