I downloaded StayFocusd which allows me to have 10 minutes of FaceBook a day and then blocks it and I was playing a computer game too much so I just uninstalled it.
I like this idea of taking action while I’m mindful to prevent myself from doing things that are a waste of time when I’m in normal zombie mode.
“zombie mode”—I love this description! Mostly because it reminds me of Professor Quirrell, but still, it definitely describes how I feel when I’m in a procrastination/akrasia/depression cycle. I also have StayFocusd, which I find useful for automatically logging the amount of time I spend doing things I don’t care about. It doesn’t forcibly stop me from wandering (since it’s simple enough to disable), but just knowing that I’m eating up my “leisure time” is enough to keep me doing things that are at least pseudo-productive.
