Who is joining?

Set yourself a daily goal and then come back every now and then to let us know how you are doing.

I'll start:

I will bli neder put my phone on focus mode for a minimum of 2 hours between the hours of 4 - 7.

Yala, we can do this!

It's similar to Do Not Disturb, on Android.

You select which apps should be inaccessible and not receive notifications for when you turn on the Focus Mode.

And it times for how long Focus Mode is on.

Is it possible? After missing a whole day??
I guess you can try... When you log in, set a timer for an hour. Time's up. PUT DOWN YOUR PHONE!

Good luck

It doesn’t have to be an hour straight. I can do 10 minutes 6 times... just complicates to keep track. Would be nice if there would be such a feature here. Another brilliant suggestion of mine.

It’s perfect. Why doesn’t it work on a phone too?

Ye, I'm still looking for something like this that can work on the phone. And best would be an app that tracks the usage both on the phone and computer.

Please share if you find one for the phone. I hardly use it at work.

If you have an iPhone by screen time you can set a limit to each site, to enable more time you need a password. It counts in total each day how much time is spent. Maybe android has the same thing.

Android has that you can set a limit for each app.

You can set a 1 hour limit on Chrome, but anything you do on Chrome will count against the hour.

Of you only use it for imamother.com than it's perfect 😃

I promise to put it away and not even glance on it for 25 hours straight once a week. This week and next week, I will do it for 2 days straight. A pat on my back to me!!! LOL

Truthfully, I don’t have it on me all the time.

On Friday I kept it in my room for most of the day and that was nice. Today I was not so great about that but I was much better.
Tomorrow I plan on keeping it in my room again G-d willing.
