Fwiw, I've found that the inversion approach of fighting procrastination works considerably better for me. So, instead of trying to not do something I try to do something instead. In more detail this means focusing on achieving a certain amount of deep work hours per day. First this means that I have to condition myself to want to do deep work in the first place. Rereading the first few pages of the book from time to…

For me, setting myself up to be productive and have focus is more impactful than anything I try to do in the moment of trying to be productive. Running or biking a few miles, eating food that makes me feel healthy, not drinking alcohol, and getting good, quality sleep.

Being physically healthy is exponentially more effective than any anti-procrastination tools or techniques I have very tried.

Disabling internet is fine How do you disable games?

Freedom[1] allows you to block apps but it is a paid service. [1] https://freedom.to

Freedom is a great service; I have a "forever" subscription. In addition to blocking apps, it works on iOS and you can manage all your devices, sessions (which can be scheduled), and blocklists centrally from a dashboard in your profile at their website. They also offer some nice affiliate discounts.

This post was scraped from my old technical blog: http://web.archive.org/web/20100423003857/http://mmcgrana.gi... Looks like the site has a few other scraped posts as well. FWIW I no longer use this exact noprocrast(1) approach to avoiding procrastination, but do apply the same basic idea.

I’m sorry someone ripped off your post ... I wish there were more consequences for doing so.

FWIW, it’s a cool idea that I may implement.

Doesn't that break with DNS over HTTPS (default on Firefox these days)?

Not if you run pi-hole (which to be clear, runs in Docker just fine...) which includes the canary domain to disable this when it’s on by default : https://github.com/pi-hole/pi-hole/pull/2915

OK, but DoH is a pretty good thing to have. Disabling it comes with its own downsides.
