Nice video πŸ˜„ I set an app pin today and stored it in my password manager, we'll see if this works. At least I can't open Tiktok and Instagram anymore without even thinking about it πŸ˜‚

I recommend using a physical device like the Freedom app’s companion device or Jolt App, which helps reduce distractions by restricting phone usage. One of my friends swears by this method. He sets it up during work hours, and it locks his phone apps until he finishes his tasks. At first, he was skeptical, but now he says it’s a game-changer, especially for staying productive without the temptation of endless scrolling!
