Simplicity

Simplicity dead.
In these modern years you are a horrific sloth if you are not multitasking. There are emails to be written, laundry to be done, calls to be made, homework that needs finishing...and of course if you're not constantly tweeting or updating your facebook you will be condemned to the unholy world of the social outcasts. There is no time undesignated, no moments of silence for our bodies and minds to fully relax, and definitely no time to concentrate on just ONE project at a time. It's impossible to completely immerse yourself in what you are doing, or be caught up in a passionate frenzy of your favorite activity. However, thanks to a few beautiful people and companies, there are ways to combat the chaos and have a moment of zen. For those who use their computers or phones to write(aka everyone) there are new programs such as Omm Writer Dana, and WriterRoom which are full page simple writing programs. Omm is beautiful, it has chromotherapy incorporated into the page so you get soft relaxing visual colors as a background, as well as a calming sound to your typing. Beautiful music plays as you go...it's altogether a fantastic experience and I highly recommend it if you have a Mac. Luckily for us Windows users, they're are getting ready to release a version for us as well! Writer room is even more simplistic, just a full screen, no sound, no extra fancyness, and a dark screen with green or white font which is extremely easy on the eyes. You can't get distracted from your homework when there's nothing on your screen but your work. Also unfortunately only for Mac, there was a user so addicted to using it he made his own copy of the program for Windows, called DarkRoom. Yay! In fact, this is the program I am using to write this, and I must say it is completely amazing, I've never felt quite so productive...nor have I been so seduced by writing alone, it's been years!
