I am the first to admit that I am easily distracted when spending time at the computer writing. There have been a number of applications and techniques that I have tried in order to keep me focused on the cast in hand but none seemed to be effective, easy to customise and use as those mentioned recently on lifeclever.com.

Can’t concentrate because you’ve got a billion windows opened?

Check out Isolator. The clever Mac app dims background application windows to keep you focused on the current application. Couple it with Menu Eclipse to dim your menubar, and you’ve got a distraction-fighting dynamic duo.

[From Stay in Focus with Isolator and Menu Eclipse]

If you want to be able to lessen the distraction from background application windows (and the pale menubar) the these two apps are worth downloading to try. Both have the option to be controlled via menubar items too which is a bonus.
