So you don't have the self discipline to just not waste a bunch of time here, but you do have the discipline to not just find a workaround for the noprocrast feature that you yourself set? Might I recommend the services of a good therapist?

- jacobbijani 18y agoyeah whats up with going through all these hoops to get around it. if you are going to cheat it, just disable it.
- NyxWulf 18y agoThe point is specifically that he doesn't cheat noprocrast. I use the setting as well, and it works for me. Sure I could easily hit the site not being logged in, but it's a subtle reminder that you set for yourself that you are spending too much time browsing. YMMV, but for me it works. I agree with this article, pg, thanks for the feature.
- paulgb 18y agoIt's a subconscious thing. For me, anyway. When I'm stuck on a hard problem, my default behaviour used to be to alt-tab to my browser and see what's new on HN. Now when I do that I'm blocked by noprocrast. Usually, this is enough to get me back to the problem. It's actually broken my procrastination habit enough that I can leave noprocrast off most of the time and not have to worry about procrastinating. Sort of like training-wheels for self-discipline.
- blackguardx 18y agoI have the same problem as you, but haven't tried the noprocrast feature. Maybe I'll give it a shot.
