What is OneSec?

In short, OneSec is a productivity tool that helps you focus on your tasks and stop procrastinating by blocking some of the destructive websites or apps. However, it’s not just a usual blocker, it has many cool features that you cannot live without.

First of all, it uses a technic of deep breathing. When you try to open, for example, Instagram it tells you to tell a deep breath for 10 seconds and then you’ll be able to access the application.

In other words, it’s not just a usual blocker, it’s more gentle. However, after waiting for several seconds and making several deep breaths, you will not want to enter the app again.

That’s because procrastination starts to exist only in the beginning. If you distract yourself from the procrastination for several seconds then your brain just will not want it anymore.

it forces you to take a step back, realize what you‘re currently doing, and consciously reflect if this is really what you want to do right now

It’s also annoying you if you decided to use a distractive app. There’re notifications every 5–10 minutes that are making you reflect again and in most cases, leave the app.

The Benefits of OneSec

There’re lots of other blocking apps available on every device, however, they still don’t work and you always ask yourself why. Even the basic screen time blocker on iPhone doesn’t work at all. It is not effective at all.

It seems like the product was created by engineers and designers, rather than psychologists. Screen time is an ineffective tool against the well-established and powerful neural pathways in your brain, which have been reinforced by social media use.

Furthermore, a single second can feel like an eternity while waiting for social media to open. These few seconds may not be worth the wait. It may be a good time to reflect on your current actions and consider doing something else instead.

Let’s take a look at the statistics. By using OneSec, app usage drops by 57%. This saves you two more weeks per year and reduces feelings of depression and anxiety often associated with social media usage. There are many other benefits to using OneSec that can improve your life!

There’re Some Premium Features

After buying a premium subscription you’ll get some cool premium features. Such as, controlling the time of breathing exercises, making them longer or shorter, or setting up right for yourself.

You can also access the different types of this reflecting screen. Starting from following the dot for a specific amount of time and ending with rotating your phone 3 times. Isn’t that cool?

However, the OneSec itself is fully free and you don’t actually need a premium version to become a productivity guru. You should pay for it, only if you want to support the developers!

Why Do You Need It?

To answer this question, we first need to understand why we procrastinate. It’s because we feel bored and don’t wanna work at all. Reading a book is pretty boring and your brain just wants you to feel this saturation of dopamine again.

However, boredom is the key to productivity and a good life. While feeling bored, your brain will push you to do at least something. You can use this power to start your work, rather than scrolling some social media again.

You need to feel bored. And feeling bored will give you an opportunity to think about your life, your ideas, and your goals. It will give you a chance to reflect on what you really want to achieve, and it will help you to become more creative and productive.
