Control your attention on the web – Block sites on certain days and times

I've tried this and the temptation to remove the block is too much. I think a better way would be to deal with the underlying reasons why we get distracted in the first place.

I've been using https://www.proginosko.com/leechblock/ for this.

Hey, I wrote something like that a few weeks ago: https://github.com/Yoric/keep-it-focused . Big difference is that mine is a daemon that serves rules to the browser, which makes it harder to use, but usable CLI parental control.

I find it rather useful :)

That can be done at DNS level in dnscrypt-proxy: https://github.com/DNSCrypt/dnscrypt-proxy/wiki/Filters#time...

At DNS level, not just websites will be blocked, but also apps.

I like selfcontrolapp.com , been using it for a long time. There's no (straightforward) way to remove the block with this one, and it works on all the browsers.

ultimately, maintaining focus is tied to overall physical energy (because suppressing distractions consumes neurological energy), and that physical energy is dependent on both health and ultradian cycles. best to alternate between focus bouts and recovery periods.

I'd be interested if there was something for this at the router level with specifying specific devices. Too weak otherwise.

Sounds like a nice productivity tool!
