I'm a student with a Mac laptop on which I take notes. My school has an Internet network. I get distracted during class.
I found this wonderful Mac app called SelfControl, but activating and deactivating it multiple times a day is a real drag.
Is there a way I can schedule SelfControl, or otherwise schedule Internet accessibility, using an AppleScript or otherwise, in order to keep me on track during class? Preferably the solution should be just as "desperate Internet addict"-proof as is SelfControl.
(Full Disclosure: I authored this post during Accounting 1 class.)
1Why are you don't using cron service to scheduling your jobs? – Sepahrad Salour – 2013-08-26T13:49:47.413
Thanks for the suggestion! This is my first Mac. I'm honestly pretty new to all this stuff. Could you point me to some good resources on using cron services? – Nathan Arthur – 2013-08-26T13:53:14.160
