We recommend trying out a combination of difficulty settings with your app blocking.
One popular set up is to use "Monk Mode" on your app limits, and "Normal Mode" on your downtime. This gives you some flexibility during the day, but keeps you from going over your overall limit!
Difficulty Settings for App Limits:
Normal Mode:
Apps are blocked after a set amount of usage
After limit is reached, you can unblock 5 minutes at at time
Intentional Mode:
Apps are blocked by default
You can unblock them a certain number of times per day
Monk Mode:
Apps are blocked after a set amount of usage
After limit is reached, you can't unblock until tomorrow
Difficulty Settings for App Downtimes:
Normal Mode:
During downtime, you can take unlimited 5 minute breaks
You can easily edit and delete your downtime
Intentional Mode:
During downtime, you can take a set number of 5 minute breaks
You can't edit or delete when downtime is active
Monk Mode:
During downtime, you can't take any breaks
You can't edit or delete when downtime is active
