Freedom

Eliminating Digital Distractions 

Freedom is a digital wellness application that blocks apps and websites through customized blocklists in order to free users from distractions. As a blog writer, I enjoy focusing on breaking down the science of how sleep affects memory, how music improves focus, how to enter the flow state, and how nature makes us more present. I also wrote a series exploring the addictive mechanisms of a variety of social media applications, and how many users are emotionally dependent on their devices. My topics aim to cover ways we can eliminate distractions not solely for productivity’s sake, but also to embrace being present to the world around us.
