Starting a work session on HOLD X

What is a work session?

When you start working on a specific task Hold X blocks the unwanted websites stopping you from distractions. It also tracks the time you spend on the task. That is considered a working session.

You can start one directly from the Chrome extension widget.

Start a work session:

1. Click on the HOLD X browser widget
2. Add a new task (if you haven’t created one already)

      3. Click the start button ▶️ on the task

      4. Enjoy your focus mode

What happens during a session?

During a work session, the distracting websites will be fully blocked. If you happen to need any of them for work, you can take a break from the session and access the site. 

How do I end a work session?

You can fully control your work session from the widget bar at the bottom of your screen. 

Your options are: 

1. Stop the session - the sites will stop being blocked and your task will not be marked as completed
2. Take a break - you’ll get 5 minutes to relax and take a break from the work session
3. Complete task - your session will end and the task will be marked as completed
