Core moves

Three things that actually matter.

Keep it simple: remove the feed, lock focus when you need it, and stop letting low-value sites eat the whole day.

Remove the feed, not the site.

Kill Home, Shorts, For You, and front pages while keeping search, subscriptions, and direct links.

Lock in when it matters.

Start a strict session and let Monk Mode hold the line until the timer is finished.

Cap the sites that still sneak through.

Set a hard daily limit so a quick check stays a quick check instead of a lost afternoon.

How it works

Every feed routes through
Monk Mode first.

That one decision layer is the whole point. If it is noise, Monk Mode cuts it. If it is useful, you keep it.
