Why WorkBye
Make your work limits easier to keep.
There’s always another task worth doing. A defined stopping point helps you decide how much time to give work before you get absorbed in it.
More deliberate boundaries
Decide how much time you’re prepared to give work, rather than letting the next task decide for you.
02 / 03Support for following through
Setting a limit is straightforward. Keeping it can be harder when you’re focused. WorkBye brings that decision back into view.
03 / 03Why I made WorkBye
I wanted to take my work limits seriously.
I tend to overwork. I care about what I do, and there is always another problem to solve. Without a clear limit, I regularly worked longer than I intended.
Deciding how much time I was prepared to give work helped me recognise when I had reached that limit. I wanted a reminder of that decision while I was focused, not another productivity system to manage.
WorkBye is the tool I built to help me follow through on the limits I set.
