I always strive to get rid of distractions. Even though I believe in the ability to improve our willpower, I always prefer to follow the rule “out of sight - out of mind”. The fewer distractions I have - the less willpower I have to use - the more time I have to do truly important things.
Initially, I was using blocksite.co, but their free service is not that great and the paid version is too expensive in my mind.
Anyway, here’s a script you can use to make your own website blocker:
Save the script as block_websites.sh
Make it executable: chmod +x block_websites.sh
Run: sudo ./block_websites.sh
Now to unblock:
Save the script as unblock_websites.sh
Make it executable: chmod +x unblock_websites.sh
Run: sudo ./unblock_websites.sh
Voila, now you can do this yourself for free!
