Question about your Mac app -- these blocker apps seem to be a dime-a-dozen, but I don't understand how people think they're effective. People have so many mobile devices now, just because I block my Macbook doesn't mean I can't waste time on my iPhone/iPad, or use another computer. In the end, it's pure will that is the best means to stop distraction, no app will solve the problem.

I keep all my distractions on devices other than my work machine, out of my reach. Mindlessly slipping into a browser is many times more easier than standing up and going for a "leisure place".
Do you have any tips for improving willpower?
