FAQ / Sessions & Tracking / Start a session
Start a session
A session is a timed block of focused work. Every session is tied to a goal and an activity type, and earns XP based on your focused duration.
1
Open a goal
Go to the Goals tab and tap the goal you want to work on.
2
Tap Start Session
On the goal detail page, tap Start Session. If you have recent activities, GamiLife will offer them as quick picks. You can also search for or create a new activity.
3
The session begins
The live session screen shows your elapsed time, current XP accumulating in real time, and a Pomodoro-style focus/break cycle (25-minute focus, 5-minute break). Only focused time counts toward XP - break time and pause time are excluded.
Starting a session from an activity page
You can also start a session directly from any activity's detail page. Tap the activity in Search, then tap Start Session and choose which goal to log it under.
