Helps me prioritize my time!

I used to wake up every morning to scroll through the headlines of current events. There’s so much going on in the world that I want to keep current on. But I found that I often spent so much time that doing this that it ate into my getting ready for the day. Then I had to rush around and that stressed me out! Now I get up and get ready, take care of essentials and then allow myself a reasonable amount of time reading current events. I’m much more in control of how my day unfolds. Thanks to Habit Hound.

Enough of a barrier to keep me on track

Love this app. I struggle with focusing on what I need to get done sometimes in the mornings and I find myself doomscrolling to “get motivation”. This app has helped curb that inclination. Putting a time lock on my evening phone usage has been icing on the cake, my sleep hygiene is finally improving. This app doesn’t keep me off my phone but it does place enough of a barrier that I can get back on track when I get unmotivated or distracted.
