I started a habit a few months ago that's been very helpful: each morning I have to log >= 1h on my primary creative project before I'm allowed any "scattering internet," which I define as email, Slack, news, social media, etc—anything that heyfocus.com would reject.

Is there anything about heyfocus in particular vs. other anti-distraction apps?

No, just a reference for the kind of things I don't allow. Some people are surprised that e.g. email and Slack are on the blacklist.

Makes sense to me. I sometimes think the main benefit of Slack is that fewer people use it to bother me.
