Procrastination stopping tool
I am shocking at staying on task. For a while it was freecell that distracted me, so, with a lot of pain, I took it off my computer.
Now it is the net. AW distracts me more than it should, as does email, the Lonely Planet websites and the news. I got directed to this temptation stopper website today. Basically you click what you want to block for how long and if you try to get into those programs the temptation stopper stops you. Think I might have to download this as simply removing myself from a web source is not working – too many places I go have free wireless these days and my little lap top has a popup which almost reads “ha ha, look, back on line. Go on, check your email. Maybe someone else has posted on AW. Stop working, see what is happening on the net.”
I haven’t tried it yet. But perhaps I will. Here’s the link: http://www.webjillion.com/archives/2005/08/01/free-software-temptation-blocker
