The Self Control app that will finally stop you procrastinating

The Self Control app that will finally stop you procrastinating Some of us are hurtling swiftly towards the Easter holidays, which can only mean one thing. A crap ton of uni work. However, our millennial attention spans can sometimes make revision and essays challenging, lets say. I mean, Im a #adult and still find it tempting to check the Facebook app on my phone in between tasks at the office. Have a pesky procrastination problem? Enter the Self Control app. The Self Control app is the nuclear option for online procrastinators This app is  no joke.  Like other internet-blocking apps (Windows users, SelfRestraint and Cold Turkey are great alternatives), you add a domain, and the app blocks access to it. You can set a timer on the app anytime from a couple of minutes to a few hours, depending on how much focus you need. All attempt to access a domain on Self Controls blacklist will result in a page that looks like this: Heres the kicker. You cant reset the apps timer by switching to a different Internet browser. You cant reset it  by restarting your computer. Even deleting the app off your computer wont reset it.  You just have to wait until the time runs out. This sounds terrifying but necessary. Where do I get it? You can download the Self Control app for your Mac here at their official website. However, if you thought you could escape by checking Twitter on your phone instead of your computer, think again. Self Control is now available on the iOS app store  for $2, if you think the temptation to browse the web will be too great. Its not as no nonsense as the desktop version, though. You can remove a blocked page from Self Controls blacklist on your phone and you can easily access it again. However, if you do so, youll feel a mighty, mighty sense of guilt. Be warned. Good luck with all of your deadlines with some willpower, and a little bit of techy help, youll make it through this busy season.
