In a world filled with bells and whistles and our technology beginning to reflect that, it is easy to get distracted. Keeping focused and continuing to remain productive gets harder and harder to do everyday, especially with smartphones and watches more things than ever before. Your personal and work emails are overflowing and social networks are becoming more tied in with work, especially if you operate your own business and know your clients on a slightly more personal basis. The best way to get rid of the clutter is to use technology to limit your technology, particularly with websites that can help you stay focused and productive. Let’s take a look at several websites that simplifies technology to help keep you efficient and productive throughout your day.
AwayFind
AwayFind allows your emails to “find” you instead of you checking it multiple times throughout the day. Often times, when your smartphone buzzes, it is a promotional email which can severely cut down on your productivity if you are checking it multiple times a day. It might also cause you to get distracted and open up other apps, which is an even bigger distraction.
AwayFind is a service that essentially filters your emails for you, similar to how Gmail and many other email services currently do. However, email services often times notify you of all emails, but this service filters out all the unnecessary emails and gives you only what you need.
Cold Turkey
There are several apps out there like this one, but Cold Turkey goes one step further by allowing you to set certain times when you shouldn’t be accessing unproductive sites. It allows you to list certain websites in a block and set times when you shouldn’t be accessing them. So, if you know you need to get a project done in three hours, you can block your browser from accessing Facebook, Twitter, or any other distraction of your choosing.
RescueTime
RescueTime is an incredibly useful service because it gives you statistics about your habits and how you can correct these habits to maximize productivity. It doesn’t simply block sites that you can still disable and access. Instead, it tells you what you are doing wrong so you can make those corrections and get back to the task at hand.
Wakerupper
Wakerupper is similar to Apple’s own Reminders application but instead it takes away the aspect of opening an app and it will actually call you to remind you to do the task that you set. Simply type in a message to yourself, your phone number, and when you would like to be reminded and Wakerupper will do the rest. It is a great way to stop yourself from getting distracted because you don’t even have to go into your phone other than picking up the call.
