One challenge of working form home is not being distracted by the supernaturally cute Reese or the incredibly creepy transparent guy on tv.

Blackhole media to the rescue! I am using their free “pink” noise generator, appropriately called Noise. It took a second to get used to the static sounds, but now I am working away in distraction free bliss (Well, other than distracting myself by writing this post).

According to them, pink noise is “Also known as a signal with even power distribution on a logarithmic frequency scale, pink noise masks background noise to help you concentrate”. The app has two modes, white noise and pink noise. The pink noise is a lot more effective at blocking out background distractions.

If you use OS X I recommend you download it.
