Am I Implementing “No Break” Sessions Wrong?

Feedback 💡
#1

When I first got Opal, I immediately set up deep focus sessions (now called “No Break”) that would hard-lock me out of specific distracting apps. This was great for my work and my sleep.

In the last few months, for some reason all my scheduled blocks have reverted to “Breaks Allowed”.

Whenever I change them back to “No Breaks”, they just reset to “Breaks Allowed” by the next day. For example, I have a “Bedtime” block from 9PM - 7AM. I set it to No Breaks, it works for the next Bedtime block, but once that block is over (by the next day), it’s reverted to “Breaks Allowed”.

I’ve been a pro-user for about a year, and I thought that would allow me to schedule recurring No Break blocks. It seems like something has changed in the scheduler that has made this impossible, and now I feel like my productivity has tanked. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a different way to set up No Break blocks that I am missing?

Hey there @COasc77,

Thanks for reaching out and sorry for the irritation there! That should not be occurring - it sounds like you might be on an older version of the app. To update, please head here:

Once that’s complete, please go to your “Blocks” tab and hit the “Reload Blocks” button on your “Schedule” toggle!

Following that, please follow the steps here:

If running through every single step listed above doesn’t do the trick, please don’t hesitate to let our Support team know in app. We’d be happy to take another look at what might be going wrong here.

All the best,
Team Opal
