I know some of you have already seen j.dub's blog on LeechBlock. P saw it on lifehacker a while back and sent it to me. I'm frantically trying to finish a paper by Friday so this weekend I decided that I needed a little extra help with being disciplined so I downloaded LeechBlock for the first time. It allows you to block certain websites from yourself and it can be set to only block certain websites at specific times of the day, say when you're most productive, or most susceptible to laziness, etc. So for instance, this week I've LeechBlocked practically every website not public health related from myself between the hours of 6:00 pm and midnight. It's been extraordinarily helpful! (Which, I suppose, speaks more to my lack of self control then to its greatness.) Now if only I could LeechBlock more things in my life like chocolate chip cookies, daydreaming, and t.v.!
In the meantime I'm off to write this paper--and Blogger is now leechblocked.

Is your paper done, missy? If you're able to read this I assume the answer is yes so congrats. Celebrate by eating chocolate chip cookies as you watching streaming tv shows on the internet and daydreaming while they load.
