Have a problem staying off of social media sites so you can study? I did! But I came across two apps that have helped me to stay off those websites during my study time.

First one is called Freedom. Originally made for Mac it is now available for Mac and Windows. It can block Iphones and Ipads as well as your PC. The down side is that it is a subscription service, much like Brainscape is now. $6.99 monthly or around $25 for a year. You can configure it so that if you put a “block” on, you CANNOT take it off prior to the time running out, unless you contact support at their website.

Second one is for Macs only; it is called Self Control. A free app, it can block virtually anything including email. I recently used it to put a 19 DAY block on my Imac so I could put more study time in for my recent REG attempt.

I’m sure there are many more similar apps available for PCs, but since I have a Mac these are the only 2 I have experience with.

If anyone is interested, here are the websites to check out:

Freedom – https://freedom.to/freedom

Self – Control – https://selfcontrolapp.com/

Best of luck to all in your studies!
