screentime but if it it was harder to dismiss and literally forced you to think about why you’re opening your apps. i used it in college while writing my thesis so i wouldn’t procrastinate! i’ve recommended this quite a few times on here and IRL and i think it works for almost every person

🟣this app has changed my life it’s the only thing that’s legitimately worked for controlling my screen time
essentially it lets you assign time limits to certain apps, as well as a limit on how many times a day you can open them. for instance, my limits for instagram are ten times a day, for ten minutes at a time.
the apps are locked by default which forces you to be more intentional every time you do open it.
highly recommend, i’ve been using for almost a month and my screen time is down by HALF!!!

👩it’s the BEST app for limiting screentime. u can have hard locks for apps: only open them X amount of times a day, set a time limit for how long apps are open, set a daily screentime limit, etc. there’s no way of getting around it!
before i open social media apps im met with a screen that says “why am i checking?” and a list of my previous answers. i pause for 20 seconds before opening them. u can do anything; set it to give math problems or other things before opening apps!
it’s an indie app with no ads too <3

regain your time. screenzen allows you to create very detailed limits and schedules for your app usage. for example i only let myself open instagram 5 times a day for 5 minutes at a time. I only let myself access podcasts on the weekends (to create more time for quality music listening.)
our time and attention is the most valuable thing in the world and its absurd to think our will power is stronger than our phone addictions.
once youre free from the distractions you can do anything!!!

🤓being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳
unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!!
if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
