01 Mar AntiSocial – Productivity App
This by far has to be the best $15 I've spent on an app, in a very long time. Anti-Social is an app that has increased my productivity at least 40% since I got it. If you're like me, or you work in the social networking field, you probably spend a lot of time on social networks. While they can be lucrative to your business, spending too much time on social networking can be, addictive and detrimental.
Well, here's a phenomenal app that will help you help yourself. Introducing Anti-Social. Antisocial is an app that allows you to block your social networks for a given amount of time. Anti-Social is an incredibly simple and effective productivity tool, used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide to enhance their productivity. Anti-Social does one thing: it locks your computer away from social sites. When Anti-Social is running, the only way to get around the block is to reboot your computer. It will also allow you to block your email as well. This will give you uninterrupted time to concentrate on those things you need to complete right away. It has a very easy UI. It is also very easy to maneuver.
I use it often during the course of my day to create do not disturb and dark times for social networks. This means that I will not receive notifications from the social networks on my desktop. It also means that I can't in the midst of my researching jump on a social network and get lost. Let's face it, our friends are distracting. The endless streams of Facebook posts and Tweets compete for our attention, robbing us of productivity. Being productive is essential for your work, your bottom line, and your self-esteem. With Anti-Social, you’ll be amazed how much you get done when you turn off your friends.
