How to limit the work on OS X

With rapid speed nearing the winter holidays and the long-awaited vacation. It would seem that just yesterday the beginning of December, and already on the calendar, the 25th number, and to the main celebration is less than a week in the year. Despite the festive mood and a lot of free time, winter holidays added headache for parents - teens tend to play, and communicate in social networks all day long.

Fortunately, OS X operating system offers built-in tools to limit the time working at the computer. In particular, you can set usage limits for weekdays and weekends, as well as to establish the exact time when the child should go to bed and no longer be able to use their Mac. In fact, this feature is great for adults, one of those who can not bring himself to be distracted from the affairs of virtual and night sits in front of a computer monitor.

Anyway, first of all we need to create a separate account (if you do not have it so far). This can be done quite quickly through the "System Settings" panel and the "Users and Groups". Click on an icon lock to unlock the parameters further touch icon plus (screenshot red) and enter the appropriate data. At this stage, you should not have any problems.

Next we need to configure the Parental Control for this set up an account:

• Start the "System Settings" and select the tab "Parental Control".
• Click the lock icon to unlock the settings, and enter the administrator password.
• In the left column, select the desired user, and in the upper part of the switch to the tab "Time".
• Activate the necessary settings, and use the slider to set the time limit computer usage.
• When you are finished with the adjustment of parameters, just close the "System Preferences".

After setting the above limit, the next time that this account will be automatically activated the countdown, and at the expiration of his child will not be able to use a computer.

I really like what Apple developers have paid enough attention to this aspect of the desktop operating system, such as Parental Control. With the help of his parents are various ways to restrict and control the behavior of their children. I even know some adults who create several separate accounts for work and razvelcheny. According to them, this method is easier to focus on the task and delineate areas of life.
