Focus App
Definition
Software designed to block distracting websites or apps during work sessions, tools include Freedom, Cold Turkey, Focus@Will, and Forest.
Why it matters
Digital distractions reduce focus quality and extend task completion time. A 2-hour deep work session with distractions might produce the output of a 45-minute focused session.
Example
A founder uses Freedom to block Twitter, LinkedIn, and news sites from 9am to 12pm every day. Writing output more than doubles in the first week.
