Meet the pause
When you open Facebook during focus, Flowly asks why. Allow 5 minutes if you really need it, or go back to work.
Why Facebook is hard to close
Facebook mixes useful things with endless ones. A message from a friend, an event, a question in a group, and right below it a feed that never ends. You open it for the first and stay for the second.
Blocking the whole site during work removes that trap. Groups, events and messages are still there after your focus hours.
Keep Facebook for breaks
You don't have to quit Facebook to stop losing time on it. Set focus hours, for example 9:00 to 17:00 on weekdays, and block websites on a schedule. Outside those hours Facebook works as usual.
