3 Tools to Keep You and Your Mac on Task

April 17, 2009 · 0 comments

1. Self Control

Self Control is a very simple application that allows you to set a “self control” timer. During the time frame you choose Self Control blocks you from predefined sites. I block twitter, facebook, and my other blogs while working.selfcontrol-window

2. Spirited Away

Spirited Away checks each running application’s activity, and if an application isn’t active for a certain fixed time, Spirited Away hides the application automatically.

3. A Reminding Wallpaper

When I have a big long work day ahead of me I make sure the first thing I do is set this image as my wallpaper:

What tools and/or techniques do you use to stay on task?
