Focus / computer usage management tricks I use:
• http://SelfControlApp.com - Block websites for periods of time
• Manual block scheduling when I have a lot of different tasks
• Pomodoro technique
• @useintent
• @rescuetime
• Do not disturb on macOS (see gif)pic.twitter.com/Ffu8khnrzX

What happens during the Evernote + Wikipedia block?
-
Ah, I meant that those are whitelisted! Everything else is blocked
-
Hah that’s how I interpreted it. I meant how do you use Evernote+Wikipedia during those 45m? Dive into new Wikipedia pages and journal about them?
-
In that case I was trying to capture a pure blog post rough draft session. In reality it'd have a few more websites whitelisted depending on the topic. Basically trying to capture the stage where I've read enough and I just need to force myself to _write_
