Anyone think the same holds true for HN? :)


In general, many people waste time on internet. The internet and all of its available information is hard to resist (at-least in my case).

I've come up with a fix though! I simply have an addon in firefox that refreshes the web-page in 20 seconds! It is just enough annoyance to give up (especially after I am over halfway though an article..)


I'm not sure if this is a good thing... You're basically conditioning yourself to not read anything that lasts more than 20 seconds...


I use a pomodoro-method timer addon that blocks a certain list of websites when it's ticking.


I recommend the procrastination setting. I have it set for 10 minutes -- I just need enough of a kick in the seat to stop wasting my time.


That’s a study everyone on this site is probably interested in


Yes!
