Instead is an anti procrastination tool.
It let's you specify a list of pages you want to block. Whenever you try to access those you will see a dashboard with some useful tools:
- TODO list - maybe you can do this small task now?
- notepad - leave a note to your procrastinating self?
- timer - maybe it's time to start a short break?
- blocked pages statistics - a bit of shaming maybe?
If you really want to access the page you can solve a simple adding task and go through. If you're too tired to solve it, you're better of doing a break or one of the tasks from TODO list than endlessly scrolling through the social media.
This is an early version, so please feel free to contact me regarding any bugs, ideas, other productivity hacks this can incorporate. Thanks!
** Update 0.1.2 **
- improved visuals,
- you can specify which hours/days the extension should be active and the difficulty of the math task.
Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
