I am writing a term paper in emacs right now while sipping some really awful coffee.

No, really I am looking for a distraction. I don't want to keep writing. Any ideas?

Edit: I haven't drank the coffee fast enough, I didn't put an *.ing after look in the title.

Several things:

* Write Code, unless that is what I seek to be distracted
* Watch Code Monkeys (on google videos)
* Learn Something new
* Play Frozen Bubble, Minesweeper, or Free Cell.

Today, it took me three hours to finish a paper that shouldn't take more than an hour. Now I'm trying to study for Economics.

The easy solution is to go into your account options, go into notifications, and deselect all the check boxes.

I like to try out distros in Virtualbox. This has the added advantage of (depending on your specs) slowing down the host system enough to make it inconvenient to return to your work. :)
