Discussion on: Which unproductive activities are typically mistaken for productivity?

[Dan Conn]

I've been using an app called Freedom on Android which blocks my phone from certain apps I choose for a given time period. If I try to go into an app during the time I set then it just kicks me out. If I want to stop the time period after it's started I have to phone their tech support so I don't break it "just this once".

I've found it to be pretty awesome so far.

That is amazing, I tried a similar app before but you could easily go into settings and shut it off so it never panned out for me.

Take a look and see what you think. I was so impressed I took out a year subscription with it. freedom.to/

I'll look into it, but I'm more a "cold turkey" kind of person so I may just end up logging out of all of my social media for a couple of weeks to make the "barrier to entry" a little higher. Thanks for the recommendation, Dan!

No worries! Whatever works for you 😃

I did it when changing phone. Still only logged to whatsapp and messanger. Thats one of best things.
