Slightly off topic: It would be nice to have some kind of extension for Chrome that blocks all Time-Wasting websites with one click. Has anyone seen something like that?
- jpkeisala 10y agoanswering my own guestion... I could have just google it instead of writing my thoughts... https://www.google.com/search?q=un-productive+sites&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-b-ab#q=Time-Wasting+websites+extension+ https://www.google.com/search?q=un-productive+sites&ie=utf-8...

- apancik 10y agoI discovered that using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/waitblock/kcnjfeppclpdinikcljfjigoongebpkh https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/waitblock/kcnjfepp... to add a delay before opening the time-wasting website actually works better when trying to procrastinate less. Waiting 60 seconds before Fb loads gives you enough time to think about whether you want to visit it, but is also not so inconveniencing that it would make you disable it straight away when you actually want to visit the site.
- aninhumer 10y agoIt's really interesting. It kind of turns your impulsiveness against itself, so your monkey is saying "Ugh, waiting for Facebook is boring, let's do something else."
- gtirloni 10y agoThis extension is really awesome! Thanks for sharing. I usually open some time-wasting website when I'm waiting on some other tasks to finish and it's got so bad I do that even if the wait is <30sec, such is the addiction to these little useless rewards. Now with a wait time on the time-wasting websites, maybe I could use this habit against itself and instead go do something else more productive while I wait.
