We recommend trying out a combination of difficulty settings with your app blocking.
One popular set up is to use "Monk Mode" on your "Time Limit" block, and "Normal Mode" on your "Time of Day" block. This gives you some flexibility during the day, but keeps you from going over your overall limit!
"Difficulty" settings for "Time Limit" block:
"Normal Mode":
Apps are blocked after a set amount of usage
After limit is reached, you can unblock 5, 10 or 15 minutes at at time, but you'll lose your "Streak"
"Monk Mode":
Apps are blocked after a set amount of usage
After limit is reached, you can't unblock until tomorrow
"Difficulty" settings for "Time of Day" block:
"Normal Mode":
You can take unlimited 5, 10, 15 minute breaks, but you'll lose your "Streak"
You can easily edit and delete your "Time of Day" block
"Monk Mode":
You can't take any breaks
You can't edit or delete when "Time of Day" block is active
"Difficulty" settings for "All Day (Limited Unblocks)":
"Normal Mode":
During this difficult setting, you can take limited 5, 10, 15 minute breaks, but you'll lose your "Streak"
You can easily edit and delete this setting
"Monk Mode":
You can't take any breaks
You can't edit or delete when this setting is active
