When you're in "Monk Mode" with an "Always blocked" setting, editing becomes more challenging by design - that's the whole point of "Monk Mode"! But we understand there are times when you need to make adjustments.
Here's how to edit your active "Always blocked" in "Monk Mode":
Use a "Vacation day"
Go to "Roots > Today (bottom tab) > Account settings (top left) > Vacation days (under Blocking)"
Start a "Vacation day" - this turns off all your blocking so you can make edits
Make your changes to the block (adjust unblock limits, duration options, add/remove apps, etc.)
Tap "Resume blocking" when you're done
Quick tip for future setup:
Consider using "Normal Mode" for "Always blocked" blocks you might need to adjust regularly, and save "Monk Mode" for when you really want that extra commitment level with no ability to edit or take extra unblocks.
Remember, "Monk Mode" and "Lock editing" are designed to prevent impulsive changes - so while these workarounds exist for genuine needs, the friction is intentional to help you stick to your goals!
