4. If you’re creating a new schedule, then give your schedule a name. Then set the times that you want the blocking to start and when you want it to end.
5. Choose the days of the week that you want the blocker to be enabled for. In the picture below Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday are selected so the blocker will be enabled for those days only.
6. You can use this button to limit or un-limit all apps in one go, no need to go through and limit them one by one.
