Actually I've found that by setting up a blocker on my devices that I can toggle on and off at will is enough.
When I start the workday, I toggle it on, and every time I try to load my social stuff (HN included) it puts up a big red warning.
I found that the majority of my wasted time was because I impulsively opened a tab to somewhere during like 10 seconds of downtime while waiting for something. And having this little block in place stopped it in its tracks.
- ohbleek 10y agoWill you share what you're using as a blocker and on which device?
- Klathmon 10y agoIt's an extension for chrome that I'm using, as I tend to not have a problem with my phone during work. I'm not near my PC to be able to say which one exactly, but there are several made specifically for this kind of thing.
