Thanks to social media, it is extremely easy for us to get distracted from our work. This is not something entrepreneurs can afford to do. RescueTime is a productivity tracker that enables the user to control the time he or she spends on their device. The app lets you track which platforms you were using and for how much time during the day so as to ensure your digital life is not wasted. Every action you perform on your phone is categorised as productive or not. The user can also set a time limit on their phone usage. Do you work online on your phone? That can also be tracked and added into the productivity section. The FocusTime session feature blocks distracting websites and apps so that the user can completely focus on his or her work without being bothered. (https://bit.ly/2kSsRbI)
