There seems to be an error in the first paragraph. Introducing productivity blocker, The first Chrome extension for blocking any website that make you productive. should the word "productive" be unproductive?
But good you at least opened the link and raised the question, there a lot of people here supposing it is a blocker to be more productive.
This is turning into an interesting test case of how many HN readers actually read (properly) the page before commenting...
Because of those legit reviews, that you ignore at first because who even reads these picked out reviews and then start to realize what is written there?

Which means you didn't actually understand what it was about, which was the point of the comment ;)
I don't disagree. Understanding things takes time, and most things are not worth understanding them.
The comments here give us a good idea on how many people leave a comment without actually opening/reading the page :')
I try to do at least one session in the morning, no matter how bad I feel. Usually it's sufficient to put me back into the zone, after which I don't need any tools or frameworks to keep me going.
We used to do this in the firewall at my first job. Every weekend the founder of the company would get drunk and login to servers and mess things up. So every weekend it was my job as the junior to go into our FreeBSD firewall and uncomment or update an ipfw line that blocked his IP-address.

Probably "productive" distractions, since you can do them a lot more before feeling bad and going back to work. Especially if you can silently get into the "fun" territory. I've actually had this with HN in the last days; I've ditched Reddit for HN because it contained a lot more worthwile content and valuable discussions [0], but with the Twitter shitshow I've come to enjoy a lot of snarky, unproductive discussions…
> I've ditched Reddit for HN because it contained a lot more worthwile content I found that at least for myself, this was just a lie I kept telling myself. HN contains almost zero actionable content, and I've not been an epsilon better off for reading it. I come to see it as infotainment.
