Literally Life Saving!!!

If all we have is time, i.e. as the only thing that defines us as being “alive”, then Opal 100% is a life saving app because it really DOES give you your time (life) back. So much wasted time means so much of your life wasted and based on your subconscious patters which - let’s face it - we hardly stand a chance of beating because our brains are so advanced! In one week, Opal has shocked my brain into stopping habits I have never been able to (I have ADHD and anxiety so when you add dopamine addiction and constant “flight” mode, you live in a procrastination nightmare). I was able to get more work done, kickstart my fitness journey again, actually start reading a book again, connect with people I was always too “busy” (too distracted) to call, sleep longer etc. I am happier, I’m never leaving Opal and oh the 50% off surprise gift for the first year was the cherry on the cake! 🤩 Compared to what I spend on ADHD meds in 1 year (which I don’t take every single day), my subscription cost 17x less and it’s giving me instant results (Hint: use Deep Focus mode). It’s still a tough journey but I’m absolutely on my way to actually working on my dreams now. Didn’t realize how “stuck” I was before just glued to my phone!!. Thank you Kenneth and the amazing team!!!

Opal has helped my productivity

I stumbled on manyyyy opal ads like I’m sure many of us have before finally succumbing to download the app and it has been an amazing experience so far.
Although I am sad that I won’t be able to continue because I’m just on free trial and can’t afford to pay yearly yet, I have been really enjoying this trial.
It is an helpful app in productivity enhancement and its one like no other.
I strongly recommend OPAL.
If there’s another free trial or discounted price, I’ll definitely continue with em.

Best productivity hack

Listened to one of Ali Abdaal’s podcast where he mentioned this app which he uses and recommended to a friend, asked her to download it immediately and she was well on her way to living her life by design.
I thought to myself, “ just download it now, it would only take a few minutes “
This was such a small step that left to such big changes in my life. I highly recommend it
