How much attention residue is still lingering in your head right now?

"Attention Residue" means: leftover attention — your mind is still stuck on the last task even though you've already moved on to the next one. Measure in under 2 minutes how strongly the last task is still pulling at you. Then you'll get the most fitting reset for the next focus block — instead of more pressure to just try harder.
90-Second Check
Rate six quick signals. Not clinically, not morally — just an honest focus readout before your next task.
The last task still feels unfinished mentally

You haven't found a clear mental closing point for the previous thing yet.

Answers, to-dos, or half-finished decisions are still spinning in your head.

You're still half stuck in the last meeting or task

The urge to check emails, chat, or tabs is high right now

Your body still feels restless or tense

Residue doesn't just live in your head. Physical leftover tension draws attention along with it.

The check evaluates your focus in this moment, not your overall performance.
Score & Next Reset
The tool first shows your residue level, then the most fitting reset for the next block.
After the check you'll get a score, the strongest drivers, and exactly the reset that helps most before your next task.
Bridge to the pack: from vague, heavy task-switching to clear focus and reset rituals.
