A quick tip today to get me back into writing a bit. On a recent ATP podcast, Marco Arment mentioned a great productivity tip for those distracting iOS apps like Instagram:

[...] if you hide any app and require Face ID for it, it will go into [the Hidden] folder. The only way to get to it is to go to the App Library; it won't show up in search, you won't get any notifications for it, your phone will act as though it's not there at all. The only way to get to it is you go to that hidden folder, tap it, for some reason you have to tap it again, it Face ID scans you, then the icon will show up and you can open the app, and you can use the app just normally. But if you leave the app for more than like a second or two, it will not show up in the app switcher, you can't switch back to it, you have to go through that process again.

I've done this with Instagram, Reddit, and GoodSudoku. I've also tucked away a few apps that I want to keep installed, but don't want to see because they're situational (e.g. the Disneyland and Disney Cruise Line apps).
