Living in a digital generation, it's become so hard to get anything done without checking our gadgets every 10 minutes. Not sure about you guys, but I can't go an hour without checking my gadgets. Wheter it is login in to check my Social Media platforms, Youtube Videos, Emails, Messages, tou name it.

How Long Can You Go Without Checking Your Gadgets?

In as much advancement in technology is something to be highly excited about, it also has it's down side. One of the contribution to delay in delivery of tasks and low quality work/ services in most work environment is as a result of poor concentration in tasks to be done by employees. It's no wonder automation is becoming such a big deal.

On the bright side, apps like Forest are seeking to help us deal with our time a lot better. I came across this app on reviewhunt and I have to say I was super impressed with the concept. Not only does this app help you gain your concentration as you engage with your tasks, but it also keeps you grounded until what you have to do is done!

This app provides an interesting timer that helps you focus on something within a set amount of time. It's a gamified timer that plants a seed in the Forest whenever you achieve continued success during your focused time. If you leave the app or check another app during this time, your tree will become weaker. Let's dive into this app together!

How it Works..

The goal of this app it to stop you from checking your phone when you are supposed to be doing important work or just work in general. Once you set a time like I did below, the app start plating a tree. The more to your goal you are, the more your tree/forest grows. Once you check out of the app(meaning you touched your phone while working), you tree starts to get weak.

I tried a 25mins task without touching my phone and I have to say it was such a great feeling. Loved every minute of dedicating all my attention to 1 task.

I also love the fast that it gives you the opportunity to give up. Don't!

What is that one thing you have been meaning to get into but you haven't brought yourself to? Perhaps this is just the nudge you need to get it done? I personally found this app to be very useful. I could make use of it everyday especially when it comes to getting my ball back rolling on here.
