Focus timer / reward engine

ViceFlow

Vices become the engine. Healthy breaks become the usual payout.

Thirty focused minutes unlock one weighted spin. You show up because the vice might hit; most of the time, your mind and body get the cleaner break they actually need.

Walk outside for 5 minutes

The loop

Make the reward cost exactly one honest block.

ViceFlow is not a planner. It is a closed circuit: attention goes in, uncertainty comes out, and the next useful action is already named.

01

Set the gate

Pick the work and start one 30-minute block.

02

Protect the block

No pause button, no negotiating with the timer.

03

Spin once

The reward is uncertain, weighted, and already earned.

04

Claim cleanly

Do the tiny reset, then come back without residue.

Possible outcomes

The vice gets you started. The wheel decides what you earn.

That uncertainty is the point. A focus block can unlock a body reset, a quiet rest break, or occasionally the vice that made you want to start.

Body claim

20 squats

Get blood moving

Rest claim

Tea with no phone

Rare, chosen, capped

The bet

Stop pretending motivation has to be noble.

Some days, the nervous system wants the vice. Fine. Put that want behind a focus gate, then let a weighted system redirect most wins into healthy breaks.

1

The vice is the bait

You start because Netflix, nicotine, caffeine, snacks, or your own vice might appear. That possibility is the engine.

2

The break is usually healthy

Most spins still land on movement, rest, reading, breath, sunlight, or other breaks that reset your mind and body.

3

The rules keep it clean

Vices are optional, capped, and smart enough to disappear when timing or context would make them a bad trade.

Temptation is allowed in the room. It does not get the keys.

You decide what can appear. ViceFlow weights the wheel toward breaks that restore you, while keeping the vices visible enough to create pull.

Smart vices

Make your vices useful without pretending they are virtues.

Add your own vices, healthy breaks, body resets, and rest options. Then give each one rules, so the wheel respects time, context, frequency, and your actual limits.

The rules

A tiny contract beats another dashboard.

The whole product should feel like one clean bargain with yourself. No productivity cosplay, no infinite configuration.

01

The timer is the price.

02

The wheel is the spark.

03

The claim is short.

04

The next block stays possible.

First block is the product

Pay attention. Get the lever.

Start with one 30-minute session. If the loop feels useful, keep it. If it does not, you still did the work.
