You settle in to do some work, but first, you check email for a second. Okay, now work. Wait: let’s check Facebook. Work now? In a bit: first Twitter, then back to email, then Facebook one more time in case anyone responded.
We all fall into this cycle occasionally.
When you don’t have enough discipline to avoid the spiral of sadness, Self Control is a free Mac application that can help. With this you can set up a list of sites you want to block and set a duration of time to block them. Your Mac will be incapable of opening the sites until the countdown is complete, and nothing you can do will change that. Switching browser won’t help, closing the program won’t help, uninstalling the program won’t help. You’ll just have to get to work.It’s perfect for staying productive while working from home, or any time you need to buckle down and actually focus. To get started, head to the Self Control homepage, then download the application by clicking the big blue button.
The download comes in a ZIP file, which you can open on your Mac by double-clicking.
