Introduction

In today’s digital world, staying focused can be a challenge. Over the years, I’ve experimented with distraction blockers to help cut out the noise and maintain focus, especially during critical tasks. This page showcases my favourite tools for blocking out social media, emails, and other distractions that pull your attention away from work.

These tools allow you to control your digital environment and carve out uninterrupted time for deep work. Whether you’re looking to limit social media during peak productivity hours or minimise pop-ups and alerts, these distraction blockers are must-haves for getting into the flow and staying there.
