Weel 4 EOC: A New App

Procrastination seems to be a huge problem for many people I know myself personally I struggle with this problem constantly. So as a solution to this problem I suggest an app that helps the user to stop with procrastination. This app would be available to both Android and iPhone users and would cost 99 cents to buy. When activating this app it would lock the user out of all other apps on their phone but still allow messaging and calls in case of emergency purposes. By doing this it would cause the user to have to focus on whatever their task was because they would have nothing else to distract their attention away from their work in theory. Of course this isn't 100% full proof as their are other things that can distract people besides their phones however I feel for the typical college student it would be some help to the problem of procrastination. It just takes one more distraction out of the equation. Now the way it would kind of work is there would be an amount of time you can select in increments of 15. So the least amount of time you wouldn't have access to all your phones feature would be for 15 mins with the most probably only being 2 hours. During this time you would receive no notifications from any of your apps whether it be social media an app game etc. The whole point is to keep maximum attention on your task at hand while minimizing the amount of distractions available to you. The best thing about this to is that apps can now be put onto computers too. So you could activate this on a laptop and it would limit your ability to access social networks online also. I feel that this is an app that could be very successful and helpful to some users.
