Focus is a new feature in Windows 11 that allows you to minimize distractions. It integrates with the Clock app. Here’s how it works:
A timer will appear on your screen
Do not disturb will turn on
Apps in the taskbar will not flash
Badge notifications will turn off
When your focus timer goes off to reveal that your focus time has ended, you can extend the time, or turn if off early if you desire. One way to start a focus session is from the start menu. Start – Settings – System – Focus – Start Focus session.

Cache
You may have seen this word often, but aren’t exactly sure of what it is. Here is an easy to understand definition that I found on Lifewire.com:
“A cache (pronounced cash) is a repository of temporary files that a device uses to speed up the user experience. There’s a cache in a variety of places and on all sorts of devices. While every cache holds different information, they’re all used for the same purpose.”
So for years I’ve emptied the cache on user’s computers when there is a need. When there are too many, it can definitely slow your computer down. Now, you need to do the same on your iPhone. Here are the instructions for Safari:
Open Settings
Select Safari
Go to Clear History and Website Data
Choose Clear History and Data
To clear the cache in Chrome:
Open Chrome
Select the 3 dots in the bottom right
Choose Clear Browsing Data
Select the time range
Make sure that Cookies, Site Data is selected with Cached Images and Files
