πŸ‘‹ Who this guide is for

This guide is for developers and engineers balancing deep focus work with meetings, reviews, interruptions, and on-call responsibilities.

If your day constantly shifts and your best coding time keeps getting fragmented, keep reading to see how Lifestack can help you.


How developers use Lifestack

Developers don’t usually lack tasks. They lack uninterrupted focus at the right time.

Lifestack helps developers organize their day around cognitive load and energy, not just availability. By combining your calendar, tasks, and health data, Lifestack makes it easier to protect deep work, adapt to interruptions, and recover after demanding stretches of work.


Getting started as as an engineer

Lifestack works best when it understands how your work actually flows.

Start by connecting your calendar. This includes meetings, standups, on-call shifts, and any fixed commitments. This gives Lifestack visibility into where your time is already constrained. Read more about connecting your calendar here:

Next, connect your task sources. Whether your work lives in GitHub, Todoist, Notion, or Trello, pulling tasks into Lifestack helps it understand the type and complexity of work you’re juggling.

Optionally, you can connect health data like sleep and recovery. For developers doing heavy cognitive work, this helps Lifestack avoid placing demanding tasks on days when focus may be limited. Read more about connecting your wearable below:
