Doing this allows you to actually free yourself from planned distractions of certain websites, which is designed to pull in as much as attention as possible
I use Unhook for Youtube :D there are many extensions for Chrome and Firefox meant to clean out recomendations
When configured properly it’s helped me step back from my computer and get things done.
I’d say the biggest thing it helps with is giving me a sense of time when on the usual distraction websites.
I’ve gotten more stuff done with LeechBlock than without that’s for sure.
