I LOVE this. Someone has invented an app (OSX only…sorry PCers) that blocks email and other internet distractions (you set which ones) for a specific period of time (again, that you set). You can’t get out of it without restarting your Mac.
If you are like so many people, this will be a godsend. Start in small increments to wean your way off obsessive email & Facebook checking. Watch how much more productive you become!
Doh, I was just about to do something and then I read your blog entry, now I’ve forgotten what I was just about to do.
Thanks.
I’ll confess to having a pretty serious e-mail tic. However, when I really, really, REALLY get into a client project, that tic just fades away.
Email is not a distraction. Email is work.
