When I require to focus and get a lot of composing done, I set a timer and inform myself that I cant stop writing up until the timer goes off.
Forest is a Chrome extension that essentially does the very same thing plus it obstructs me from sites that could distract me from getting things done..

Applications for Education.
Something that I like about Forest is the psychology of working in blocks and stating “okay, for the next 15 minutes Ill focus” rather of “I cant visit my favorite social networks sites.” Theres likewise the element of getting a little visual benefit for completing a concentrated block of time. For students who require some aid focusing to compose a long paper or develop a discussion, Forest might be simply what they require.

Forest lets you define the websites that you want to obstruct yourself from going to while your timer is running. With Forest installed I can set a timer for fifteen minutes and the timer goes off I cant check out Twitter, Facebook, or any other site that I choose to block. The “reward” for working up until the timer goes off is a digital tree that is planted in my digital forest (theres likewise the satifisfaction of completing a task without getting distracted)..
In this short video I demonstrate how Forest works..
