Hacker News? I mean, you posted this right here!
- taneq 9y agoI spend more time on HN than on FB by a fair margin now. I probably need to start reigning it in... :P
- FridgeSeal 9y agoLuckily, HN has a handy no-proscrastination feature! :)
- magic_beans 9y agoTell me more about this!
- doubleplusgood 9y agoCopied & pasted from an old HN post: There are three new fields in your profile, noprocrast, maxvisit, and minaway. (You can edit your profile by clicking on your username.) Noprocrast is turned off by default. If you turn it on by setting it to "yes," you'll only be allowed to visit the site for maxvisit minutes at a time, with gaps of minaway minutes in between. The defaults are 20 and 180, which would let you view the site for 20 minutes at a time, and then not allow you back in for 3 hours. You can override noprocrast if you want, in which case your visit clock starts over at zero.
