How do I stop scrolling while studying a language?
Block the apps that interrupt study, then require a short active recall task before access. The goal is to slow the impulse without creating a long study session.

The simple workflow
Pick the distracting apps, block them during vulnerable moments, and make every unlock require one small language-learning action.
- Use app blocking for the highest-risk apps.
- Keep the unlock challenge short.
- Use vocabulary or listening prompts instead of passive reminders.
- Review the words that appear repeatedly.
Why active recall matters
Active recall creates a real cognitive step. That makes the unlock feel earned and gives the user a small learning repetition instead of an empty delay.
