How much could you write without distractions {NAME}? Just imagine not have Facebook available when your deadline looms. Or emails. Or Instagram. GASP. I mean sure, we can all theoretically not look at our favourite sites but maaaaan itâs hard. What if something else just removed them from your reach? [Freedom]( â distraction remover The main idea behind the Pomodoro Technique is working without distractions. The Freedom app doesnât let me trust myself alone with social media and email. Freedom takes away my bat and ball, puts me at my desk and then tells my friends Iâm busy. Okay, not really. What it does do is remove my Internet access for a designated amount of time (and thatâs pretty much the same thing). I canât override it without rebooting my computer. For real! I also canât get distracted with a cool meme or conversation on social media. Nor can a new copywriting enquiry or a blog post from my favourite writer distract me from the writing I simply must do. How itâs boosting my productivity On my first day of using Freedom, I realised how much research I do online. I also realised how much research I do as I write. That doesnât mean the app isnât a good fit. Instead, Iâve adjusted my process a little. I schedule chunks of time to research and map out my ideas. Then, when itâs time to write, I shut everything out using Freedom. As a result, Iâm planning my copywriting out a little more, which is great for productivity, as Iâm cutting back on rework and editing. Iâm also being pushed to be a little more creative, because I canât simply Google the answer. How much does it cost? This baby is $10 USD, but it offers you a free trial (on Mac or Windows) with five uses. I figure that even if I donât use it all the time, which I donât, it will save me a lot more than $10 in the long term. It probably saves me $10 a day! Tell me, could you do with a tool like this? Or maybe you have a foolproof system? If you do, do tell!
