> Get to work regardless if distracted and agitated. Close all apps except what you need to work and BOOM!, let the magic happen

Isn't this the part that actually does the heavy lifting to get stuff done?

No really what I was trying to say but get your point.

The idea is that you sit at your desk even if too agitated and remove the visual distractions that aren't work so your eyes will either look at work or the blinking led. I have an iPad by the side so I can't see the screen but will open from time to time to check emails.

So, stare at the screen even if you don't feel like it and try 1o-15min.... if you forget and realised an hour passed and the blink stoped it... then it worked!

; )

Most productivity hacks are window dressing around this.

  • Yeah, but this blinking light is still at another level. I'm glad it works for the OP, but to me this really stood out as pretty absurd.

    Sounds a bit like: I have a hard time falling asleep, so I have this blinking light next to my bed. I take a sleeping pill and let the magic happen. My heart rate then syncs to the light and I fall asleep. This light works great!
