We build the ReDD Workshop: the world's most effective tool for rapidly identifying digital distraction challenges and restructuring your digital environments to better fit people's goals. Why? Smartphones, computers, and other digital devices are essential for all of us. But many struggle to use their devices without paying a heavy price in the form of digital distraction disrupting work focus, sleep, or social connection. Dr Ulrik Lyngs & Maureen Freed created the ReDD Workshop to solve a rapidly growing digital distraction problem among students at the University of Oxford. The resulting ReDD Workshop is based on feedback from 2000+ participants across 200+ workshops at 15+ universities and high schools. The digital focus tools included come from our team’s analyses of 550+ tools and 54,000+ user reviews. The latest version of the workshop achieves a 58% average increase in digital focus (as measured one month later by the 'Brief Digital Self-Control Scale), and reduces wasted time by one third, after a single session.
