Have you ever picked up your phone to check one thing, only to look up 30 minutes later and wonder where the time went?
Between social media, email, news, games, and endless notifications, our phones make it incredibly easy to get distracted. And, while you can set app limits or tell yourself, I’m just going to put my phone away, sometimes those strategies aren’t enough.
That’s part of the reason a little device called Brick has gotten so much attention lately. Brick gives you a physical way to block distracting apps on your phone. And many people are huge fans of it!
There’s just one catch: It currently costs $59. If you’re intrigued by the concept but aren’t ready to spend nearly $60, there are some inexpensive, and even free ways to create a similar setup.
