โ€ข5 min read

Step 2: Create Work Configuration

Create a 'Work Mode' configuration in Invis and add all distracting apps to the hide list. You can create multiple configurations for different work scenarios, such as 'Deep Work', 'Meeting Mode', or 'Study Mode'.

Step 3: Set Automation Rules

Use Invis's scheduling feature to automatically enable work mode during weekdays from 9:00-12:00 and 14:00-18:00. You can also use iOS Shortcuts for location-based automation: auto-hide entertainment apps when arriving at the office.

Step 4: Build New Habits

Stick with it for 2-3 weeks to let your brain adapt to the new work mode. Check usage statistics weekly to observe your progress. You'll find that as distractions decrease, work efficiency significantly improves, and the time needed to complete tasks dramatically shortens.
