I’m having some trouble keeping myself from browsing to timesink websites at work(And I’m self-employed, so it’s not like I’m even getting paid for it). Anyone know of a good Chrome app for blocking websites?
I recommend StayFocusd, but if it stops working, make a blacklist in your firewall and put it behind a ridiculously long passphrase that scolds you for not working. Use this one device for work and other devices for play.
Oh, and put those other devices in an underground vault 10 miles from your house.

I was using Leech Block for old fashioned reddit-block for some time, but then I switched to Rescue Time (free version) which tracks time you spend on certain internet sites, and found it much more user friendly. It does not block the sites, but it shows you a percentage estimate of how productive you are today (e.g. Today, 1 hour on internet out of which 30min on Less Wrong—so 50% productive).

StayFocusd
That looks like exactly what I was aiming for. Thanks.
