anti-social

You know who you are. You’d probably get done WAY more at work except – oh my gosh, did Marcie post new baby pictures? You’ll just quickly check Twitter before you write that report. A quick browse of Instagram because you heard your hairstylist posted some gorgeous new shots and you are debating a new look…

There’s nothing like the internet to distract you from absolutely everything you know you should be doing. And it’s not just the time spent browsing. Once your concentration has been broken – even just by checking emails – it takes 15 minutes to get back into the “work” state of mind

That’s where this internet blocking app comes in. Anti-Social works with Windows or Mac and actually blocks the websites that are keeping you from being productive.

It has a list of the regular social media distractions but, if you know there’s additional sites that tend to drag you off topic, just add it to Anti-Social’s block list and it disappears.

Now, it doesn’t have to be forever. You can set Anti-Social blocks for as little as 15 minutes, or as many as 8 hours. Give yourself a reasonable schedule, grab a break and then go back at it again.

This could also be great for your home computer if you want to make sure the kids really are working on homework and not talking with friends. A recent study says procrastination is a problem with over 70% of students! (Not a stat that would surprise most parents, I’m sure.)

The cost ignoring the siren call of the internet? Only $15. And there’s a 60 day money back guarantee.

Good luck! Because I hear your co-worker posted a really sad video and you just *need* to watch it…
