I believe it very sincere. This page is quite helpful in particular, good tips but I especially like the list of apps at the bottom: https://humanetech.com/resources/take-control/

In particular I think the Freedom app is pretty unique in that you can setup web and app blocklists and it is synced between devices when you have it setup on all of them. So you can set a focus time of 4 hours for example and the apps and sites (and entire categories of sites if you wish) you specified will be blocked on all devices, Windows, Mac, iOS, Android. Surely there are plenty of apps that do similar things but I think the integration of multiple devices is pretty killer as you don't need to manage each one.

The InboxWhenReady and Distraction-Free YouTube extensions I think are really useful too.
