How do I edit an "All Day (Limited Unblocks)" block in "Monk Mode"?

Updated this week

We're here to help.

First off, we know this can be frustrating. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

When you're in "Monk Mode" with an "All Day (Limited Unblocks)" block, 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 "All Day (Limited Unblocks)" block in "Monk Mode":

Use a "Pause"

  • Go to "Roots > Blocking > Pause" (top of the screen)

  • This will temporarily pause 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 "All Day (Limited Unblocks)" 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!
