Nowadays, whether you like it or not, distractions are everywhere, accompanying us at every moment of our day.

It starts with ads in the subway, on our phones, where the feeds have no end, and every piece of content has just one objective: to make you stay a little longer. When you get to work, it's hard to switch to 'work' mode, as distractions are still there, just a few centimeters away. But the truth is, even if you don't see them, they never really leave your mind.

Since 2022, we've set ourselves the challenge of helping everyone reclaim their time, too often lost or stolen by certain platforms. Between notifications and apps designed to be ultra-addictive, many of us found our time sucked into the vortex created by our phones. In October 2022, we launched Jomo: the ideal companion to help you regain control of your (screen) time. And after just a few months, we've been selected by Apple in the "Top 15 apps created by women: Best apps for taking care of your health" category.

The Cost of Distractions

Our concentration is constantly being put to the test because distractions aren't just on our phones; they're not limited to mobile devices. Emails, messages, Slacks, DMs... sometimes we just don't know where to turn! And then there's the Internet. The Internet is both our best and worst enemy. If you've never consulted a personal website during your professional time, raise your hand ✋!

For our HR readers, it's estimated that only 23% of employees are genuinely engaged in their work every day. Companies are estimated to lose $8.8 trillion as a result of disengagement. But why? A disengaged employee has poor concentration, constantly distracted by what's going on around them. And every time they're distracted, they lose an average of 23 minutes!

Because, with Jomo, we've helped thousands of people rethink their relationship with the telephone and set limits on certain uses that have become problematic, we've decided to go even further!
