Lately I have been quite busy. I admit sometimes the anxiety level takes over and makes me kind of nutty. But truly this is no way to work on a regular basis. In my quest to increase productivity I am so hyped to tell you about an app that truly makes a difference in not just the amount of work that can be done in a set time frame, but also the difference it makes in how work is completed. 

Anxiety can be a trigger for procrastination. Many writers experience this too often. Distractions take first place, hours have passed you by, then you kick yourself for not taking charge in getting the work done. This common mental roller coaster can keep you on edge...if you let it. 

The must have app I have been testing for the past week is Focus Booster. Based on the Pomodoro Technique, the Focus Booster is a time management app, you can customize, that helps eliminate the anxiety you feel when the pressure is on to get projects completed. With the use of sound, timed sessions heighten your concentration and focus. The more I used it, distractions became less of an issue. My focal point was to get the writing completed, which is what I wanted! 

The Pomodoro Technique was developed by Francesco Cirillo to improve efficiency and remove stress. Cirillo states, "The idea is to make our minds work in the best way possible." I had to give it a try. 

To learn more on how this cool technique can help you or your team with any freelance project, check out the site for more in depth information and download the free e-book. The Focus Booster is a free app you can download to your desktop or you can just use the live web version.
