Hello WA Members,
I recently came across two apps that I found to be not only very interesting, but also very unique and effective at the same time.
I have already begun using them myself, and although some of you may have already heard of these, for those that have not I wanted to share them.
The first one is an App that can really cut back on your procrastination when put into effect.
We all know what it's like to be in the middle of a blog when our minds start to wander. You start to check your social media accounts, maybe read a few news articles, and then they next thing you know, an article that should have taken two hours to write has now taken five!
The first one is called StayFocusd - It has two primary features, the first one allows you punch in the URL's of the websites that you waste the most time on while you are trying to get work done.

You would then set a specific time limit, say an hour, and your the app will completely lock you out of accessing those website during that period of time.
Conversely, instead of punching in the websites you DON'T want to access, you can punch in the ONLY websites that you would like access to, and again you will only be able to be on those URL's for the given amount of time.

Second, there are many studies that show working late into the night with a brightly lit computer screen can disrupt our sleep patterns and throw our night-time schedules a little out of wack.
This second app, f.lux, allows you to input your specific location (estimated), and it will then adjust your computer brightness throughout the day, allowing it to cool down to warmer more soothing colors as the day turns to night.
It is a little different at first but I have quickly adjusted to it and really enjoy the difference!

Hope you enjoy these free apps as much as I have!
