"Unveiling the Wonders of Coda, One Day at a Time" |

Happy Friday!
One of my most bizarre hobbies is productivity focus.
I'm in a couple different memberships and accountability groups.
If you woke me from a dead sleep, I could immediately rattle off two dozen productivity products and Pomodoro apps.
Time is my most precious commodity and I wage a bloody battle for every minute of the day.
I have tried them all--and continue to try them all . . . I'm always looking for new ways to slay the beast of distraction.
Of all the apps that I've tried, my most valuable weapon is a FREE Chrome extension called LeechBlock NG.
What I love about this tool is that it's HYPER-customizable.
It's not just "block these websites," but instead, you can create elaborate rules that can adapt to just about any way that you want to manage your focus.
The screenshot shows my "news and socials" rule where I limit myself to 2 minutes per hour to check news and other time waster sites.
If I wanted to, I could "roll over" my unused time every hour to have a longer browser session every few hours.
I could allow Reddit links, but only if they were clicked from a Google search link (when I'm doing research).
It's so amazing the different ways you can think about your blocking.
If you struggle with focus (which I'm sure you do!), this may be the go-to tool you need!
Don't forget to sign up for my webinar Making 2025 Your 'Year of AI-tomation' where I'll be going over the template and help you build your 2025 automation plan.
To accommodate multiple time zones, I'll be hosting the webinar on a few different times based on feedback.
The waitlist is open now!
Can you hear that humming noise? That's your business AI-tomation in 2025!
See you on Monday!
