If you are one of those people who get distract very easily by grabbing your phone every five-minutes, you MUST try this application!
Forest is an app that helps you to stay away from your smartphone and stay "focus" on your tasks! It's a very simple, easy to use application. It is FREE to download on android, $1.99 on IOS. I've included a step-by-step on how to use this application:
1. Set how long you want this session to last and touch the “plant” button
2. You’ll see a countdown timer start ticking, beneath a cartoon picture of a small seedling.
From then on it’s simple. All you have to do is juts ignore your phone to allow the seedling to grow into a tree. Each completed session will add another plant to your long-term “forest”, and you can compete with friends or colleagues by sharing your forests with each other.
If you open your phone to check the growth of your seedling, you’ll see messages like “go back to your work” and “don’t look at me.” If you exit the app to check messages or use other apps, the plant will die. (I had that happened to me before and it was very sad, so stay FOCUS!)
When you're tracking your progress by seeing how your forest is doing, you can also check the metrics to see if your self-control is improving.
Again, STAY FOCUS!
Forest team also partners with a real-tree-planting organization, Trees for the Future, to plant real trees on the earth. When the users spend virtual coins they earn in Forest on planting real trees, Forest team donates our partner and create orders of planting.
Isn't this app amazing?! You will get your work done and help planting more trees at the same time!
