Let's face it, how many times have we gone to YouTube for something specific only to end up watching a video on beluga whales doing somersaults? How many times have we gone to Instagram just to message a friend to find ourselves scrolling 20 minutes deep into the news feed abyss? Too many times. BeTimeful is not another blocker app that blocks social media just to make you want to visit it more. Instead, it only takes the distracting elements of social media so you can still use social media & YouTube to your advantage! Technology is a tool for us to use. But if technology is using us, then who becomes the tool? - Jim Kwik At BeTimeful nation, technology becomes OUR tool, not vice versa. Join the mission & lets help each other one person at a time.
