Does FindFocus has a fix for Skype/Slack distractions features :)?

@nedkovbg Of you cause you can block slack and skype.
Most productivity experts recommend to time block activities like skype or slack, during work. I use an app called Franz to have all communication channels in on place and have spefic times when I use them.
What I love about FindFocus is that you can still stay flexible. For example, if you really have a question that you have to ask someone via a messenger you could tell FindFocus to only allow that after a delay of 5 minutes or after entering a "Focus Question" like "Do I really need to use Slack right now?" You could even combine this.
That will break the habit of just checking your messenger every 5-10 minutes for new messanges because you are feeling an itch that you might miss something. Often you will find your question was not that important.
