Freedom

With a world full of facebook, twitter, and blogging it is a mystery how anyone gets anything done anymore. I have started using an application that literally helps turn off social networking and turn on creativity when working on projects. For me, it has increased concentration and productivity because I can sometimes have a short attention span. I suggest downloading it and trying it out if you're trying to meet that deadline and who knows you may find it as helpful as it is for me.

"Freedom is an application that disables networking on an Apple computer for up to eight hours at a time. Freedom will free you from the distractions of the internet, allowing you time to code, write, or create. At the end of your selected offline period, Freedom re-enables your network, restoring everything as normal.

Freedom enforces freedom; a reboot is the only circumvention of the Freedom time limit you specify. The hassle of rebooting means you’re less likely to cheat, and you’ll be more productive. When first getting used to Freedom, I suggest using the software for short periods of time."

One small step for man, one giant leap for robotkind.
