Doing this allows you to actually free yourself from planned distractions of certain websites, which is designed to pull in as much as attention as possible

I'm going to have to try Unhook, YouTube distractions are one of my biggest.

The one I use is called LeechBlock, I can set block lists, time of use per unit of time (day, hour, etc), block times on specific days, I can even set it to lock me out of the settings during specific times so I can't easily change things when I'm block out of distractions.

It's on Firefox and Chrome, maybe others but I'm not sure.

Of course it can get really annoying but that's the point really, bother me enough to break the cycle of endlessly clicking the day away.

Has it helped you made grass-to-hand contact?

When configured properly it's helped me step back from my computer and get things done.

I'd say the biggest thing it helps with is giving me a sense of time when on the usual distraction websites.

I've gotten more stuff done with LeechBlock than without that's for sure.
