Extension summary

Don't just block the site, it's too much cognitive load and you'll end up turning it off.

The biggest problem with sites like YouTube and Instagram when it comes to productivity is "aimlessly wandering around." To combat this, we make you "wait" when you enter a site you've designated and ask you "why".

Once you've answered all four questions, you'll be able to enter the site. In the process, you'll refine your purpose, and if it's too vague, you'll be able to go back. Good luck!
