Many programs and websites try to attract our attention in one way or another. In one of the previous articles «How to overcome the habit of postponing everything for later» we casually mentioned that distraction from business entails adverse consequences for your productivity. Today we would like to dwell on this topic in more detail and give a small selection of tips from the American Lifehacker.

Mute all im clients and chats

Minimize unused applications and windows

Select the active window
This is possible with the help of DropCloth (Windows) and Isolator (Mac) programs, which shade everything on your desktop except the active window.

Simplify Word
Try an alternative "stripped down" version of Darkroom (Windows) or Writeroom (Mac).

Avoid junk mail
Use spam filters.

Configure your IM client
For those who are regularly distracted by spam messages, we can recommend one of the main settings of most clients: "receive messages only from contact list users".
