From my earlier posts on the 40-hour experiment, it helps to focus on a fixed task for a specified time, with the goal being to finish that task in the allotted time limit. This helps me not get distracted by FB, Twitter or my dog. Well, I’ve just found the perfect app that lets you do this – 30/30.
30/30 is dead simple. Just type in your task, set a timer, and GO. You’re holding your own ass accountable. And it works. It really works.
I used to believe productivity apps were useless and a waste of time, but this one actually works. I get 3-4x more things done in my day when I use this app.
