Sample this scenario. You are deeply engrossed in writing juicy bits of your highly ambitious blogging project. You are at your productive best & ideas had just started raining when that ubiquitous beep from your smartphone interrupts the creative progression. You wish to ignore it lest it blocks the now fertile imagination. Alas, the charm of the Online world gets the better of you. ‘Let me Focus’ an app to cure mobile addiction claims to offers a “hardcore” approach to root out your dependence on your gadget.
To help you ignore that urge to play a game or check your social media feed, the app by Paweł Urbanek asks you to 1st set total time you wish to stay focused & then press start. You can’t shut or minimize the app till the focus session is over. In case you are tempted to do so, your session will fail & that would show poorly on your success rate stats. Moreover, the app is on for the entire duration, but it doesn’t affect your battery consumption since the screen is dimmed. To improve your attention, it blocks your phone & other distractions.
Are you habituated to checking your smartphone just before hitting the bed to ‘simply check’ what’s happening across the globe & or in your friends’ lives? For you & your ilk, the app commands to be turned on 1 or 2 hours before bedtime. When the time is up, your phone will quietly switch off the app & also the screen. As a result, you will sleep soundly with an uncluttered head. By switching off the electronic world, you’ll also see a remarkable decline in “smartphone induced insomnia”, it claims.
Let me Focus offers performance stats presenting the success & failure of all your focus sessions. The app is available for iOS 10.2 or later & is compatible with iPhone, iPad & iPod touch.
