Tired of constant distractions, I built the Focus Dial—a DIY take on the failed TimeChi crowdfunding project. It helps me work in time blocks by activating a Do Not Disturb mode on my phone and integrates with Home Assistant via webhook triggers to set lighting scenes and block distracting apps at the network level during focus sessions.
