So when you've got a report you need to finish before close-of-business, how can you tune out all the usual attention thieves that lurk on your PC?

Start by making them invisible. , one that improves your focus by stripping away everything but the blank page.

In other words, no more browser shortcuts, no more Windows toolbar, no screen clutter of any kind. Sure, you can restore all that stuff with the press of the F11 key, which disables your browser's full-screen mode, but once you get in the flow, you won't want to.

Write Space works like this: after adding it to Google Chrome, you can access it by typing Write Space in the address bar, or by opening a new tab and clicking its app icon.

By default, it doesn't open full-screen, but you can enable that mode by tapping F11. To make that the default option, right-click the Write Space app icon and then click Open full screen.
