I recently met with Charlie Stigler, a very creative, rising HS senior, who’s written various iPhone apps and open source software gadgets, including SelfControl.

SelfControl is for those sorts of people who can’t control their use of email, facebook, web surfing, solitaire, and other invitations to procrastination. I would never presume that you were vulnerable to such distractions, or even had close friends who were, but you may someday encounter someone who is.

One thing I can guarantee is the time you spend reading about it, downloading and installing it, setting it up, and remembering to use it won’t be wasted on real work!
