There's another app - the name of which escapes me - that disables your

Might be useful.

!? Pulling out the network cable or disabling Airport works pretty
well, and you don't have to reboot to get it back.

I think the point is that you can re-enable those at will - this enforces
the disconnected state a little more, thus helping people with less
willpower.

Also what's wrong with "Hide other appls" if you only want to work
with 1 appl? It's been around since MultiFinder.

True, but this just enforces being cutoff from outside world distractions.
