Do you need to get stuff done? No, we mean really, really get stuff done. Like “secret cabin out in the woods” time to get stuff done.
If so, you might want to turn off Facebook and Twitter. Or maybe any one of a million websites that are sucking away your productivity like an army of ticks.
But what if you also need the internet to get some work done? How do you just block specific websites for this period of intense focus?
Meet Anti-Social.cc, a program designed to help you focus by blocking you from visiting websites for predetermined periods of time. From the website:
“Anti-Social is a productivity application for Macs that turns off the social parts of the internet. When Anti-Social is running, you’re locked away from distracting social media sites, including Facebook, Twitter and other sites you specify. With Anti-Social, you’ll be amazed how much you get done when you turn off your friends.”

But what if I don’t use a Mac? No problem. Get a copy of Anti-Social.cc’s big brother, Freedom. Available for Windows and Mac, Freedom is a more robust internet limiting package:
(Don’t worry, there are both Windows and Mac versions at the above website.)
