The Unproductive Internet

The internet can be super distracting, we get it. Here you are sitting trying to finish the web development project and looking for inspiration and next thing you know, two or three hours goes by. At any given moment there are thousands of videos, Facebook posts, tweet-storms and memes to keep you from getting work done. But Saent, a new productivity startup aims to make its users more productive with a combination of distraction-blocking hardware and software. The desktop application actually blocks apps and sites that are unproductive. It also comes with a reward system where you can start focused sessions and then accumulate points when you finish them. It will also give you reports on the times of the day when you are most productive so that you can tailor your work schedule to actually work smarter. The button that comes with it is about the size of a coaster and will be a visual cue for when your session is over. Would you be interested in something like this? Do you think it will help with the way you work?
