In fact, that may have even happened while writing this article, since I logged on to use Facebook as an example in one of the first images. For sales staff, Clearbit Connect could shave hours off your prospecting work week. Activate it, and Stayfocusd will 'nuke' or totally block sites that you enter for the number of hours you indicate, regardless of the days and hours you've set as allowable surfing time. It is truly the nuclear option for blocking distractionsnone of the other apps on this list come close to this level of permanence. I can’t count the times where I’ve gotten on Facebook to do something productive and found myself distracted. However, that still leaves lots of time to be distracted by potentially helpful, but also distracting websites. Also, there are some settings such as specific times/days that websites are blocked. How do you separate the two?įirst, you can still add sites you know you won’t be using and are likely to be distracted by to the block list. There is also a 'nuclear' option that should be used in extreme cases.
#STAYFOCUSED NUCLEAR OPTION HOURS UPDATE#
We often use “timewaster sites” to help us in some way: check Facebook for an update on a company’s status, contact a company through Twitter regarding a problem, search YouTube for a video to use in an article, or just scouring the Internet for ideas or research. I fit in this category as well as a lot of people working in tech, research, writing, journalism or a combination (and probably other areas too). It can be a tool and asset, but not a solution. Ultimately, you’re the one in control - not an extension.It won’t do you any good if you don’t set it up and use it, let alone have it disabled.
