There's a free app called Instant Boss that's really easy to use and it helps keep me focused at work (unless I circumvent it).
That's an interesting idea. My preferred work style is to get entirely lost in it for several hours, but that's not great for my energy levels. I should try shorter bursts of work. I'll look up this Instant Boss thing. Thanks!
Listening to music (or very familiar TV shows) in the background while I work usually helps, but at the moment it's just making me more distracted. I might have to find something else to have in the background.
I'd be quite concerned if I started sounding Australian.
It's easy to sound Australian, just practise this simple phrase: "Nice weather we're having."
"Nice weather we're having."
Yeah, we wouldn't say that here.
You wouldn't think that this image could get any creepier, but the red dust does in fact make it creepier: [link] Well done, Mother Nature.

Burn it! burn it! send it back to hell! That must be what's turning the sky red with the blood of the innocent.

We have a Luna Park in Melbourne too! Less dusty though.

Yeah, I like to do this sometimes too. I personally have a lot of resistance to actually getting started, so it's easier for me if I know I only have to do it for 10-15 min before I get a break. But once I start, I sometimes get so into it that I end up skipping the breaks.
Anyway, hope the app helps. It's very simple and easily modified to suit your needs.
Luna Park in Melbourne is pretty damn creepy, too, sans dust.

The hardest part of me of doing any task is always starting it. I am a master procrastinator, but I can usually stay focused on something as long as I am not interrupted.
