Summary

Experimental Anti-Distraction App. Alternative method compared to stayfocusd/coldturkey. Aimed at a long term goal of defeating poor browsing habits!

Focused on delayed gratification and understanding the realistic need for 'distracting' sites.

All feedback is welcome. Bugs/features =D.

Shoutouts to: Roy Baumeister, Daniel Goleman, Kelly McGonigal for knowledge on self-control.

I really like the concept, especially compared to other website blockers, but I don't like how difficult it is to customize the blocklist. You need to first block a website, then attempt to navigate to it, then find a small button on that block screen. It should be a first-class item in the Options screen, then this extension would be 5 stars for me.

Exactly what I was looking for a tool that on the one hand does not completely block you and gives you control and on the other hand limits you and does not let you fall into distractions, thank you very much בדיוק מה שחיפשתי כלי שמצד אחד לא חוסם אותך לגמרי ונותן לך שליטה ומצד שני מגביל אותך ולא נותן לך ליפול להסחות דעת, תודה רבה לכם

It really works! It is also great with the combination of an addon "Crackbook Revival". When you get passed one barrier, there is another.
