Quick productivity tip
2 Oct 11
Logout of any social networking or distraction prone site when you are done reading, e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Quora, Google Reader. I frequently find myself randomly clicking to one of these sites whenever I encounter a delay or waiting period at work, whether I'm waiting for something to download, a server to restart, someone to respond over IM or something else that makes me wait for a period of time that's greater than 5 seconds. Clicking to one of these sites will occupy you for minutes to quarter and half hours if you're not careful.
If you're logged out, you get this wall where you HAVE to type in your login credentials, rather than instant content gratification. I then find myself checking back to what I was waiting for to find that it's ready, rather than checking back 5-10 minutes later after looking through someones photo album.
