I use an app called Forest! It lets me plant cute little trees and earn background sounds to play during timers – and if you leave the app to check something on your phone while the tree is growing (timer is on) – the tree dies and you can try again. You can turn that function off if you don\u2019t do well with negative reinforcement, but it\u2019s good accountability if you suck at not texting like myself, haha. You can write what you\u2019re doing during that time too (I study, cuz med school) – and I use it to track progress through my day too! It feels good to go back and be like – yes, I DID do something with my day \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 AND to see cute little trees in your forest \ud83d\ude42 the nice thing is the dead ones sometimes don\u2019t look so bad either – so even a failed attempt is still an attempt that can be celebrated \ud83d\ude42 (OH! And you can earn coins with successful time being off phone – and buy silly trees too!) It\u2019s my favorite app to use as a focus thing, and really helps he stay off my phone/be productive \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>
