I found myself wasting way too much time, mostly on social media (really disappointing that Instagram, YouTube and Facebook all turned into TikTok-style short form content with endless scroll).

I now use Freedom (freedom.to) on all of my devices to block myself from all of these sites until 8pm every day. I've been getting more work done, and reading more books.

Yeah I have thought about websites having "business hours" also. So support staff don't have to worry about getting a call or text message at 0200 that something isn't working... just fix it in the morning.

B&H famously closes online checkout weekly: Online Checkout Open 24/6

Interesting idea! BTW, it shows now: > seven39 is currently closed > Opens in -4h -3m I think the negative numbers might be a bug?

Ah, just fixed this! Should say 20h now. It was an issue yesterday but I just let Cursor write something without checking.

I think we’ll be seeing this explanation more and more…

I think there is still an issue. I think it is counting down to the next 7:39 local time. Right now it says opens in 22h 50m for me (I am in mountain time) (this was at 8:49 MST / 10:49 EST)

This sucks for anyone in a different timezone.

Several US and state government sites are like this, e.g. https://freakonomics.com/2012/08/this-website-only-open-duri... or https://old.reddit.com/r/MURICA/comments/rbl4qz/only_the_us_...

...and that was BEFORE the layoffs =/
