Pros
- Forest: good for committing to a short focus block without overthinking
- There are some great options like Forest or Planndu that can really help with focus.

- similar to how Forest shows little trees growing and makes it satisfying to stay focused.
- Second - install application like ‚forest’, where you grow plants (free version) and can’t use the phone in that time.
Cons
- Parent context: Would Forest do the job? Reply: I used it for years, got addicted to it, so I dropped it.
- I have tried everything from Gamification (Forest) to deleting the apps and using the website. Nothing works because soon you get frustrated and either remove it all, or just ignore any warnings.
- I have forest alr, but i want smth which like blocks apps without a timer active if you know what i mean?
- That's good, I've been using Forest since 2019, and it gets worse every day, so I haven't changed yet because I don't want to lose my data.
