Question 1

How is the distraction cost calculated?

Accepted Answer

We multiply your hourly income by the number of hours you spend on distracting apps each day. Monthly cost uses 21 work days, yearly cost uses your specified work days per year, and the 5-year projection multiplies the annual figure by five.

Question 2

What counts as distracted time?

Accepted Answer

Distracted time includes any time spent on apps or websites that don't contribute to your work or personal goals, such as social media, entertainment apps, news browsing, and casual gaming during work hours.

Question 3

How can I reduce my screen time?

Accepted Answer

Use an app blocker like DistractionKiller to set focus sessions during work hours. Start with 25-minute Pomodoro blocks and gradually increase. Most users see a 40-60% reduction in the first week.
