Think!
Posted on Thu 27 Mar, 2008
Think (for Mac OS X) lets you focus on what you’re doing by creating a configurable backdrop behind a single application. It shows you a list of running applications (in the same style as pressing cmd-tab). It doesn’t do much more than that!
One of the touches I like about it is it shows the currently selected application’s icon in the Dock. Of course, if you really need to focus hiding the dock might be a good idea.
My current technique for 100% focus on work is simply quitting my email client. That pretty much frees up my brain for as long as I need to concentrate.
