About this session
- Sharpens focus
- Steadies attention
- Sets a work rhythm
- Eases distraction
This is a plain metronome with no voice and no melody: a single click that sounds once every second, which is 60 beats per minute. It runs for 20 minutes. The even pulse gives your mind one simple thing to follow, so other noise and stray thoughts sit further back.
Play it quietly while you write, study, plan or work through a task list. It suits the late afternoon, when energy dips and your attention scatters. Use it as a reset before a demanding conversation, or any time you want a steady pace to work to.

Questions people ask
Still unsure? Ask your assistant anything about this session.
What does 60 BPM actually mean?
BPM stands for beats per minute. At 60 BPM you hear one click every second, so the pace is even and unhurried. It is slow enough to feel calm and regular enough to anchor your attention.
How is a metronome different from background music?
Music changes through melody, harmony and mood, which can pull your attention along with it. This track has only one repeating click. With nothing to follow or predict, it fades into a steady backdrop for your work.
How should I use it while I work?
Start it at the beginning of a task and keep the volume low, just audible enough to notice. When your mind wanders, you can return to the click and then to your work. Twenty minutes fits neatly as one focused work block.
Why is it recommended for late afternoon?
This is when many people feel energy dip and attention scatter between tasks. A steady beat gives you a simple cue to settle back into a rhythm. It can work as a reset without asking anything of you.
Should I listen to the click or ignore it?
Either works. You can rest your attention lightly on the beat for a minute to settle, then let it recede into the background as you focus on your task. There is no technique to follow.
