Did they work? Did you try any other solutions?

Mindfulness bell seems to have bothered people around me. They are getting used to it. It's not really doing its job of keeping me mindful (I currently have it set on 30mins). I would like any suggestion you have for "thought process to go through with the intention of being mindful". I tend to still think, "is this the highest value thing I could be doing right now?" and have occasionally closed things I was messing around on and moved on; but being a smart-guy I can rationalise that "yes this is" far more often than it probably is.

At least it gets me to stop and wonder "what am I doing" frequently. which is a good thing. I expect a month from now I will have a naturally trained "mindful clock" and won't need the chime.

Also mindfullness bell conflicts with "narritive app" when the chime goes off it crashes the other app. Which is probably because of bad coding; but I have the bad coding to thank for letting me keep all my other notifications on silent while keeping that one on loud.

Thank you!

P.S. any other apps you would suggest?
