A productivity app developed in Taiwan that prevents you from dillydallying on your phone when you need to focus to work/study :
You plant a tree in the app, it will keep growing as long as you ignore your phone. If you give in and use your phone, your tree dies. The more you plant trees (aka work) the bigger your forest gets. how lush it is gives you an idea of how much work you've done. You unlock new tree species by working and there's a global ladder where you can see others' forests
I use it like a pomodoro timer, set periods of 25 min and take 3-5 min breaks.
Download here : forestapp.cc/en/ And add me, my Forest name : Nayun; so we can see who's the most studious
Nice, I thought I was the only one Add me sometimes if you use it again

Fiddling with phone has never been a problem for me. I just compulsively check different news feeds and message boards with my browser on a desktop.

>Fiddling with phone has never been a problem for me For me neither actually. But I just like how it symbolizes the amount of work I've done. I don't really need the "don't go on facebook while you work" feature

Fucking hilarious how miserable the majority of people are completely on their own fault.
>hurr its too much technology! too many distractions! >I NEED a dumbphone so I can't be distracted!
you can use a desktop or laptop computer to dick around too. The numbers are amazing, imagine going back in time 20 years and saying that in the future nearly 10-20% of the entire populace wouldn't be onboard with technology at large and there would be these gay little movements to try to not use technology because they have no self control and have to blame it on everyone else.
Smartphones are great for business, again just because you choose to dick around with them doesn't mean they're a bad technology, that's on you. Again if you feel you have to throw smartphones out, you also have to throw out laptops and desktops. It's AMAZING how hard it is for people to understand this concept. Owned a smartphone for 7 years and I tear it up on e-mail, business apps, calendars, oh and get this, I actually use youtube and my browsers for looking up information. I know, it's mind blowing, opening youtube and not typing in a cat video, society just destroyed itself after the internet right guys, it's totally not my fault
In elementary school we'd play games with each other in the textbooks by writing "go to page 5" and having a chain of those, so therefore textbooks were only used for that and not learning at all and must be thrown out... yeah fuck off already

I will never understand how people always get so mad at the idea of reducing distractions
It's literally clockwork that somebody makes a gigantic holier than thou "I have no problem so you shouldn't either" post about it every time its brought up

Maybe it's because I've been into technology my entire life and it doesn't interest me all that much, but I have absolutely no idea why people get hooked to using their phones and honestly anyone who pulls one out when someone's talking to them is a fucking shitbag

I only really use my phone when I am away from home, while at my house I rarely fucking use it.
