How to study with your phone away — UK focus rules

Focus apps are theatre if the phone is still in reach. Distance beats settings.

Seven moves. Phone in another room.

  1. Phone in kitchen. Not pocket. Not face-down on desk.
  2. Kitchen timer or watch. You do not need the phone clock.
  3. Tell housemates. Door closed means interrupt only for fire or blood.
  4. Website blockers on laptop. One layer. Do not spend an hour configuring.
  5. Reward after block. Ten minutes phone after 45 revision. Contingent.
  6. Track streak days. Calendar X. Breaks happen; restart next day.
  7. Admin the distractions. Pair this with the Revision Timetable so subjects get booked hours.
