Comment on Ask HN: How do you concentrate?

Comments

1. Right click rescue time in sys tray. 2. Click "Get Focused" 3. Enter three digits (at least) 4. Get back to work.

Not being facetious here at all. The internet for a computer worker is the biggest concentration killer out there. Blocking it all means losing part of your toolbox (i.e. googling some obscure/unknown language reference or topic), but relying on you being able to kill your temptation is not effective.

RescueTime solves this problem brilliantly. (There are other programs too, I just happen to use RescueTime)
