    For both a novel and a research project in my case.

    Pomodora is definitely out there as an app, btw.

      Nice one.

      Sounds like you have your hands full. In that case, you may need to search for all sorts of info, which means you’ll come across ads. As others have suggested, I can recommend uBlock. I cannot remember which one to install. Be careful as there is at least one copycat, which may be unsafe.

      In that case, the pomodora app may help you with the research. If you know the clock is ticking, it can help to stay focused rather than getting sidetracked when you look up some details.

      For long writing projects, I can recommend Scrivener. It’s not free, but it can help keep on top of long documents. Word, for example, gets a bit unwieldy from 20k words and is only good for formatting 80k+ words (combining shorter, chapter-length documents into a single document when it’s all finished).

      If you do use Word, use styles! It will help with the formatting later.
