I have fallen in love with a simple app called “SelfControl” the app is free and simple. You place a list of websites in the “blacklist” and then when you need some help with self control you open the app, choose a time, and hit start. Not it doesn’t stop all distractions, Facebook on the phone still works fine, as do many other distractions. Still I find it helps. My list is short, Facebook and a few others, and for those times when I need to get work done quickly so that I can be ready to play and have fun later. It is very helpful. The only thing that is more helpful is moving to an outdoor location that has no wifi, which is getting more difficult to do as wifi where we are is becoming more ubiquitous.
Speaking of needing to get work done quickly so that I can be ready to play and have fun later, yesterday morning I spent with my youngest son on a school field trip to an agricultural research center at a local university. I’m a bit behind so, time to catch up and get ahead.
