- Pavan Sethi15building things. · WrittenOne of my favorite apps :) Set a timer for how long you cannot touch your phone. The more time you stay focused, the more coins you get to plant virtual trees in your forest (if you touch your phone, your tree dies!). The best part is that coins can eventually be used to plant real trees!Sabra RubinsteinMarketing Manager at Avantpage · WrittenLove this app! I didn't realize how much I pick up my phone while working on projects till I started using it.

- Siobhan O'Rorke7Marketing @ Zenkit · WrittenYou can block certain websites while you're focusing (premium feature), but the main thing I love is that it tracks how much time you spend & where online & on your computer, which is super helpful if you need to figure out where all your time has gone :) You can learn a lot about yourself while using it.

I can block all my social media, individual websites, messengers and email when I need to work. (oh, and it syncs with all your devices so no excuses not to work!) I bought it a week ago and boy it helps me to focus!
- Nicholas LusskinCEO @ Squanto · WrittenSuper simple and insanely effective. Just set some time and you're done, or schedule time that you don't want to be bothered. Blocks notifications and access to apps for those who can't stay away :)

- If you find yourself browsing news, blogs, or other websites during an important project, this chrome extension does what it says. It shows you an "inspiring" message which will ask you to go back and go f#(king work :)
- I use this app to avoid distraction because this app can help you lock all your other apps. Every time I need to focus on something really important, I just lock all my apps and put my phone away. On the one hand, I can stop checking my phone and stay focus. On the other hand, I knew that my phone is safe with AppLock.
