Avoiding Distractions: Pls Recommend An App!!! by MrEgghead(op): 5:00pm On Feb 15, 2020
Hello guys,
I'm a second year Medical student of UNIBEN.
Recently, I find it very difficult to really study because of distractions from my phone.

pls I need an application that can enable me block some applications on my phone at a certain period of time.
Thanks.

The app will also be a distraction with incessant notifications and ads. Just uninstall annoying apps or if your phone has the 'freeze' ability, you get them frozen.

Unless the app has features that'll lock you out from accessing your phone... It'll still boil down to you TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF YOUR TIME.

OFF YOUR PHONE MY GUY

Even switching off your phone doesn't guarantee that he'll keep his hands off it...but there are apps that effectively locks you out of ur device for certain periods of time...that works too

I think it's better to uninstall..... because that freezer doesn't stop u.....but at least the freezer can help limit....the usage of those apps


Probably he should try to take the bull by the horns by creating his own self control.... although it's hard but he gats be determined

If you use an iPhone, I can't really say what app. Androids on the other hand have digital well being, but their Oga patapata na Zen Mode but it's in built on OnePlus phones.
