Switching tasks leaves a measurable cost.
Attention residue
Attention stays on the last task and measurably slows the next.

Fair questions.
Can five minutes before work really do anything?
As a warm-up, yes. A short session gets the focus and working-memory mechanics into gear before the work, not instead of it. The app charts your progress.
Will this make me better at my job?
We won’t promise that. mindima makes you measurably better at the games and the mechanics they train: sustained focus, holding a thread in working memory.
I’m slammed all day. Can I fit it around meetings?
That’s the design. Sessions are short, with one optional reminder at a time you pick and no penalty if a meeting runs over.
Can my employer or team see my activity?
No. There is no team dashboard, and nothing is shared.
