Today's Anti-Procrastination Experiment

I tried Freedom yesterday, a software program that cuts internet connection for the time specified (though you can circumvent it by rebooting). I didn't much like it; I found the yellow dot bouncing around the wireless icon distracting. So today I just didn't turn my computer on until 10:00 am.

For that hour I wrote on the Neo, an electronic device that does nothing but type into files, which can be uploaded to a PC. I turned on my computer at 10, and much procrastination subsequently ensued. But that small amount of focused time percolated throughout the day, making me think more about my new book.

I wonder what will happen if I try again tomorrow.
