I was tired of being distracted while working on my projects on my Mac. Suddenly I found like I wasted hours on Youtube, X, Netflix that I could have focussed on other important things. I knew I needed an intervention, but not like any other. Focus Shield also informs me on what I am losing when I chose to access these sites, protects my focus, teaches me about my need to be distracted, and through that creates a wonderful space between me and these services out there to take away my attention when I am not ready. I hope it helps of all of you ! (All handwritten, no AI)
