Let Go
- PakG1 16y agoI'm going through an especially busy period right now and really need to focus. Meaning, I shouldn't waste any time going to check XKCD, HN, Gmail, blogs, my hockey pool, or anything else that could distract me during work hours. What do you guys do to ensure you stay focused? Any software recommendations out there that work better than the standard every-30-minutes-pop-up-reminder stuff? Let me know!!! :)

- neworbit 16y agoWhen a buddy of mine was having an obsessive time of it and begged me to save him from himself, I edited the .hosts file to redirect from wikipedia, reddit, and similar sites. It worked (but not as well as just dropping in on him at lunch, asking how things were going, and getting him to get his proverbial in gear)...
