Self-Control

You know what really helped me finish my papers and study for exams? SelfControl. Not my own, though, because I get too distracted. 

There's a downloadable application called SelfControl. You put a list of sites on the blacklist (twitter, facebook, youtube, etc) and then set the timer. I set the time for an hour so I would study and write my paper, then I would get a study break to check my email and for a few minutes. After my little break, I would set the timer again. 

I promise this isn't a paid advertisement! Ha-ha. SelfControl was just really helpful for me and I wanted to recommend it to any of your procrastinators out there.

It's FREE but, um, it's for OS X. Sorry, PC.
