Looks nice. although I'd like to be able to add just google finance. It's one of the site I go when I'm stuck, but the domain is google.com/finance. So wildcards or regular expressions would be nice. (wildcards are probably easier to maintain)
I have been thinking about making an extension that shows you how long you've wasted today. Whenever you visit a time-wasting site there would be banner ticking away.
Hey! A very cool idea! Any chance you'd build one for Safari as well?
If I temporary disable it for a site (hackernews), it doesn't reenable automaticallu
the irony of seeing this top on Hacker News is delicious
Is there a tool like this for Android?
Maybe this is the wrong thread for this comment, but I'm wondering if I'm alone in this. Anyone else find they procrastinate for reasons another than a habitual need to check e.g. reddit/HN? I find for myself, it's very rarely that I'm procrastinating without any reason, but instead that I'm actively avoiding whatever it is I think I should be doing for any number of reasons.

I doubt we're talking about the same things. I generally don't have any trouble focusing -- long lectures/tests, projects when I find my flow, etc..

What I'm talking about here is a tendency I've noticed in myself to put off starting thin…
ADHD is just the misregulation of focus, people with ADHD get Hyperfocus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfocus) and that sounds exactly like what you are describing.
If you're remotely, or anyone else, about ADHD Dr. Russel A Barkley's Essential Ideas Everyone Needs to Know is a great watch: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzBixSjmbc8eFl6UX5_wW...
And P.S. the guy was correct, what you described above is exactly how I feel when I procrastinate. ;)
