Do you use any apps to settle this problem?

I don't use any app. I like to listen to music and fully concentrate on my tasks for the day. Don't get me wrong, I get distracted a lot, but I try to keep my phone on silent and not in my visual field.🤓
I just put my headphones on play thug life songs from snoopdog and work on my product
I don't use any apps. But these are my goto:
1. Gamify my to-dos for the day, especially in the afternoon when food coma starts kicking in.
2. Put on the noise cancellation headphone with no music just as a signal to everyone else.
3. DND on iphone and mac.
4. Take a walk or sit another place if too much is going on.
5. If I notice there is an internal distraction (emotional kind), I make a note and take that up in therapy next.
I use my own extension Deprocrastination to block distracting sites until noon, then from 12.20-4PM and 4.20-8PM. Those chunks of uninterrupted time allow me to dive into problems without distractions.
I've remove all social media except Instagram (not an issue for me) from both my phone and my tablet.
That keeps me productive.
App that then lead to distraction again?
@kondrat_yukov not really. maybe something that can help you to understand/avoid/prevent before you have started your daily routine
As chief of Production i get distracted alot. Tried a few apps. Didnt work at all, it was more like an opposite effect.
Best for me is to catch up 2-3 hours of work at home spending only like 45mins to 1h.
But i guess it's individual what actually works.
warm up bro! you watch some video to have fun then do a small task then do a bigger one and so on! everything on the warmups!!
punchlist + chillhop soundtrack on youtube + time blockers on calendar
I use musicForProgramming(); and caffeine. Honestly haven't found a better legal combo.
Staying isolated seems to work best. At least for me :)
Headphones with ambient piano. If I tired of piano I listen to white noise sounds.
And I have a badge with "DO NOT TALK TO ME!" sign :)
I choose to close my eyes for 5min n concentrate on breath. Best way to meditate n increase concentration too
