undefined | Better HN

0 pointsjbrennan15y ago0 comments

I don't use any external scripts, I just set mine to block problematic domains for me (places where I find I sink a lot of time, HN, Reddit, Twitter are the primary ones), and usually I make it close my IM client (or sometimes set my status to Busy), close Twitter, and my feed reader. Then I'm good to go.

I find 50 minutes is a good duration for me. During the ten minutes downtime in an hour, I let myself read Twitter, and get up and walk around the office. Then back to work.

It's marvellous for staying on task.

Do you tend to use it everyday or only on the days you are having a hard time concentrating?

And while we are at it, any other great anti-procrastination/focus apps or tricks you have found lately that work really well?
