I think the perfect productivity program though would both block certain websites and lock up certain programs (ie: twitter or mail clients). If only I could code!<br /><br />But yeah, I tend to do research while writing too, but I do think Freedom is at its best during those days when I'm completely unfocused.Sarah Robertsonhttp://squidinksarah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-31897572720152822122011-03-21T18:14:34.087-06:002011-03-21T18:14:34.087-06:00Thanks! :) Yeah, I'm really bad about checking...Thanks! :) Yeah, I'm really bad about checking my email too. I have this issue that the instant I see a new message I can't really focus on anything else until I've looked at it. Freedom definitely comes in handy during those extreme lack-of-focus days.Sarah Robertsonhttp://squidinksarah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-77940831940157541202011-03-21T18:12:57.252-06:002011-03-21T18:12:57.252-06:00I like looking things up too, but sometimes resear...I like looking things up too, but sometimes research needs to be put aside when writing needs to get done. :)<br /><br />But I'm actually pretty good at staying focused most of the time, so I've only been using Freedom when it's extremely necessary. You know, those times when you look at your email, close the windows, two minutes pass, and then you look at your email again. At that point, Freedom is really nice.Sarah Robertsonhttp://squidinksarah.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-91499658775882435752011-03-21T14:22:53.254-06:002011-03-21T14:22:53.254-06:00That sounds like a fantastic program!

We need a program that disables social networking sites, but leaves open productive/research sites.Austin Wulfhttp://www.austinwulf.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-34012188929741945812011-03-21T13:40:59.226-06:002011-03-21T13:40:59.226-06:00Ok this sounds like the answer since I have no sel...Ok this sounds like the answer since I have no self control when it comes to the internet. I've completly gone cold turkey when it comes to twitter, and i never liked facebook in the first place but my e-mail? You don't want to know how many times a day i check my e-mail.<br /><br />Agreed social networking will be the fall of mankind.<br /><br />Great post!<br /><br />Happy World Poetry Day!<br />http://blackfingernailedreviews.blogspot.com/Khadijanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1088040542346517696.post-29275312454875540522011-03-21T13:10:18.308-06:002011-03-21T13:10:18.308-06:00Freedom is nice when you truly need to get rid of ...Freedom is nice when you truly need to get rid of the internet, I completely agree. The problem I find is that I generally look things up while I'm writing, and I can't do that without the internet, which is very annoying and does end up eating my time. Other than that, good tool.Brenna Braatenhttp://twitter.com/brennabraatennoreply@blogger.com
