A Levels are fast approaching and my son has asked me to take his PC away as he simply can't regulate the time he spends on it. trouble is, he will need it to study. This software could help. He is a very clever young man (Maths, Physics and Chemistry are his subjects) but willpower is not his thing!

It is an app that stops games, social media, porn etc. distracting people by limiting their access to them, and making them concentrate instead on finding a way of disabling the app!

It is the tech equivalent of locking your beer, wine, chocolate and cake in a cupboard... That wouldn't stop you wanting them so it wouldn't stop you being distracted.

You have to decide that you don't desperately want them. That took me 36 years to manage with booze and 60 years with sweet treats!

Ha ha. I started eating sweets 15 years before beer came into my life, and gave up beer before cutting down on sweets. (When I gave up booze I compensated by stuffing my face with chocolate every night, often 100-150g a night!)
