Guys, I just wanted to share the best tool I've found to help with productivity.

The app is called SelfControl and its free for Mac users. Basically it allows you to list websites you want to block and then lets you set a time period for when you want the sites blocked. You can uninstall, delete, reboot your computer, reinstall software, etc. etc. You will NOT be able to access the blocked sites.

I've been allowing myself at most maybe 30 minutes of Facebook, blogs, news, sports, netflix, hulu, etc. for the past month and then I go straight into an 6 or 8 hr block period.

Seriously, it does wonders. You won't believe the amount of work you get done when you eliminate all the time sucks in your life.

Anyway, google the app name and try it out. I am in no way affiliated with them and for all I know its free.

Just wanted to share my little secret with the rest of BP nation.

    Thanks for sharing! I'll have to look for something similar on PC. It would be incredible for me.
