Be Indistractable
Making a timeboxed calendar is an important step to becoming Indistractable.
When you know exactly what you want to be doing every moment of the day, then you more easily recognize when distraction is pulling you away from that.
Then, rather than fall victim to the vicious cycle of distraction that eats up your time for spontaneity, you’re better equipped to escape it. You can quell any internal or external trigger that nudges you off course from your timeboxed calendar.
By making time for spontaneity, you enhance your ability to focus on work.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
