someone just boarded a flight from London
A timer built for flow state. Pick a path from A to B — stay in the zone until you land, with a live globe tracking progress like the seatback map.
How it works
Three steps. No dashboards, no streaks — just a corridor and a clock that only stops at the gate.
01
Choose a real-world path timed for 25, 45, 90, or 120 minutes of deep work — the same blocks you’d put on a seatback map.
02
Confirm your boarding pass, then take off. Cabin noise starts, the globe becomes your moving map, and the clock only runs while you’re airborne.
03
Work until arrival. Pause if you need to — but the destination is the point. When you land, the session is done.
Why it works
The aviation skin isn’t decoration. A flight is a container for flow — the constraints, the moving map, and the session lengths come from well-studied attention science.
Flow state
Flow needs a clear goal, immediate feedback, and just enough challenge to hold attention. A flight gives you all three: a destination, a moving map, and a block long enough to disappear into the work.
Parkinson’s Law
Work expands to fill the time available. A flight has a gate time. That constraint is the flow session — not a suggestion, a landing slot.
Goal-gradient effect
People persist more as they perceive themselves getting closer to a goal. Watching the aircraft close the gap makes remaining time tangible, not abstract.
Implementation intentions
“When I take off, I work until landing” is a specific cue–action pair. Research on implementation intentions shows these plans outperform vague goals like “I’ll focus later.”
Ultradian rhythms
Alertness naturally rises and dips in roughly 90-minute cycles. Routes at 25, 45, 90, and 120 minutes map onto the blocks most people already use for deep work.
Ready for takeoff
Pick a corridor. Confirm your pass. Stay in flow until you land.
