Get through a reading section or a set of practice questions. Start with a 45\-minute session and this list, then change it to fit your task.

### Add this setup in one step

Blocker shows the sites and apps before it adds the list. You can edit the list, and Blocker does not start a block.

Needs Blocker 1.5.0 or newer. No Blocker yet? [Download](https://getblocker.app/download)

[Open in Blocker](getblocker://focus-setup?data=eyJ2ZXJzaW9uIjoxLCJzbHVnIjoic3R1ZHkiLCJuYW1lIjoiU3R1ZHkgc2Vzc2lvbiIsImRvbWFpbnMiOlsicmVkZGl0LmNvbSIsInguY29tIiwiaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbSIsInRpa3Rvay5jb20iLCJuZXRmbGl4LmNvbSJdLCJhcHBzIjpbeyJuYW1lIjoiRGlzY29yZCIsImJ1bmRsZUlkcyI6WyJjb20uaG5jLkRpc2NvcmQiXX0seyJuYW1lIjoiU3BvdGlmeSIsImJ1bmRsZUlkcyI6WyJjb20uc3BvdGlmeS5jbGllbnQiXX1dLCJzZXNzaW9uTWludXRlcyI6NDV9)

Open this page on your Mac to add it.

## Choose what belongs on your list

The setup also suggests these Mac apps: Discord, Spotify. Blocker adds only the apps that are on your Mac. Remove an app from the list if you need it for this task.

Keep your course portal and reference material available. Only add Spotify if music itself distracts you; YouTube may be needed for your course.

## Your first session

1.  Select Open in Blocker. Blocker shows the sites and apps before it adds the list.
2.  Add the list. You can change its sites and apps at any time in the app.
3.  Save your work in those apps. Then open Block now, choose 45 minutes and select the mode that fits your task. Strict adds a wait and a sentence before you can stop early.

[Read about Hardcore](https://getblocker.app/blog/hardcore-mode) before choosing it: it has one weekly emergency pass. No setup on this site enables a mode automatically.

## Keep the routine realistic

Start with 45 minutes and take your break after the block ends. Add a weekly study slot once you know which days work.

The [step-by-step blocking guide](https://getblocker.app/blog/block-distracting-apps-mac) explains how to check the result. Your Mac blocklist and schedules stay local. This setup does not sync to other devices or block your phone.
