So, seeing as you're all on shrimperzone at all hours of the day, it's probably safe to say that procrastination and the internet might be affecting your work/home/social life. I've spent a while thinking I work best under pressure and an impending deadline, however I'm starting to realise that might not be sensible.
I've started using StayFocusd at work and it's been really helpful. I've not really had a problem with doing work during the day, but drifting onto emails (we use gmail at work) or websites every 10 minutes has had an impact on some of the harder stuff I do at work. I tend to block all website access for 1 hour at a time, and then give myself a break, before doing it again for another hour. I've definitely found myself to be much more productive and the day has definitely gone faster as well. I enjoy my work really, and so I haven't found it too difficult.
It works on Chrome and I have other browsers if I absolutely have to access something, and I have my phone too. However it's a good way of removing the internet from your day when you don't really need it.
Anyone else ready to admit they might have a problem? Anyone else got other good ways or tactics to deal with procrastinating?
