This will change your life
If you work in the service industry and expend every ounce of willpower not throttling idiot customers, you may find it difficult to clock out and concentrate on your creative side projects. It has been proven (with science) that when you are forced to be nice and accommodating to assholes all day, you are less likely to have patience with the people you actually love when you get home. I think I find myself in a similar situation when I am trying to write after work. I'm tired, and my willpower is depleted, and it is a lot easier to scroll through facebook or stare at the fat, slightly perturbed furry creatures on cuteoverload.com than push myself to do something that is uncomfortable and, well, more work.
Lucky for me and anyone else with procrastination issues, there's a program called FREEDOM! It will lock you out of the internet for a predetermined amount of time and you will be free to use your computer without the temptation of the internet! Some people don't need a little dodad to be productive, and I hate them. For those of us who need a little extra help: LET FREEDOM RING!!!!!*

I've heard of this! I too have a serious internet problem! My issue with Freedom is that for the pattern writing and editing work I do at home, I often need to reference stuff from the internet. So I can see how this would be mega-useful to people who are drawing solely from their own minds and books, but not so much for people in my type of sitch. Unfortunately my willpower will continue to be tested until they invent a FREEDOM CHIP FOR BRAIN... or a version that only allows certain sites? I wonder if that exists yet...
ReplyDeleteYou guys have two computers, no? I have worried about the same thing but I figured I can use Mark's computer if I just need to look something up... do you have to copy and paste, though?
ReplyDeleteHmm, good idea. I think I'd mostly be looking up stuff, not copy and pasting. Thanks friend!
