Always a delight to read from you. I should try the Refocus app. Although I have notification turned off for most of my apps so that has helped a bit.

Thank you, Abosede for your kind words. I'm with you on turning off all notifications.

Thanks for these tips, Azodo. I already use Refocus and it has absolutely changed my life.

I have a question: How do you manage distractions from emails and Slack during work hours? I can't turn off notifications because I need to stay responsive, but it's very distracting, especially during strategic tasks. Can you give tips on how to manage that?

Happy to be mentioned, lol. It made my day! 😄😄

P.S If you are open to exploring more productivity tools, especially on your desktop, please check out RIZE. It not only helps you set aside specific times of the day to deep focus, but it also lets you categorise your activities and sends you a daily report on your activity across all platforms (browser and desktop) There is nowhere to hide, lol. It also has a AI productivity coach that gives you tips on how to make your day more productive. it is really good.

Combining it with Refocus has been life changing for me. If you look at it and are interested in creating an account, please use my referral code: https://rize.io?code=B73125&utm_source=refer&name=Onyekachi (I get a month worth of premium.)

Interesting, I'll check it out. Does it track exactly what websites I'm using on my browser?

Yes. Not only on your browser, it tracks activity on your desktop too and gives a full breakdown each day.
