A Testimonial for Freedom


I have a terrible problem staying focused. I don’t know why, and in a way, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that I need to stay focused.

A few years ago, my lovely friend Anne Ford told me about Freedom. It’s  software that blocks Internet access for a predetermined amount of time, such as half an hour, so that you can work without interruption. It’s just $10, and it is $10 well-spent. Many days, it’s the only thing that stands between me and complete dissipation.

I cannot recommend it enough.

Despite the URL, Freedom works on PCs. Now, if only someone would make something like it for Droid, because I have developed the nasty habit of checking my phone when Freedom is running on my PC.
