What is ImDistracted?
IamDistracted is a productivity app that
challenges its users to provide their full attention
to any number of activities they may be
participating in by discouraging the use of social
media apps and games on their phones.

What’s the
problem?
• Social media and cell phones
can be extremely addictive and
provide an easy way to avoid
work or homework
• The ability to inhibit the ability
to use these apps when
necessary is crucial

The problem continues...
Teenagers as well as adults have allowed their
phone to distract them from doing day to day
activities.
Paying attention to your phone while your
attention should be elsewhere is not productive
and could be dangerous

Execution Environment
This app will be used by anybody who wishes to
increase productivity. College students, High
School students and workers are just a few
markets.
Any country where social media and phone
applications are used can benefit.
The purpose of this app is to help remove distractions while performing any number of activities This app would be geared towards any individual who wishes to increase productivity exponentially. This app focuses on the removal of distractions caused by social media, games, and any other anti productive apps people use. Distractions caused by cellphones make performing day-to-day tasks extremely difficult. It is true that these apps are widely enjoyed by millions and that is not a problem. However, the problem arises when they are used as an avoidance measure while doing homework or when somebody is bored. I believe that everyone has used his or her phones to distract him or herself at one time or another. I personally do it all the time. The ultimate goal would be to help people perform activities without the temptation to use their phones.
This app is a “Background App” meaning it will run on your phone without taking over the screen. This App will deny access to popular social media apps or any app that has been chosen to be on the “Blocked List”. You open the app and the first step would be to distinguish a time period for the app to run. This could be increment of time or a time to start and end. For example if you had to go to the library to do homework you could turn the app on for 2 hours. If you worked from 8am to 4pm you could also set those times for the app to run. Once a time is selected you must review which apps will no be able to run. Once these are reviewed you would press a start button that would run the app. While the app is running all blocked apps will not be able to open yet you may still use your phone.
The app may be shut off however there are steps to prevent you from shutting it off once it has been started. For example, questions will be displayed and one must answer all the questions before the app gets shut off. However, these questions are extremely ambiguous and random.
This app will be light hearted and make the usage as fun and inviting as possible. The colors will be bright and fun and animation and design will be the same. Clever witticisms will be displayed when the opening of a blocked app is attempted.
