This used to be my home page, for a while: https://www-zeuthen.desy.de/~nkelhos/focus/

It was a useful reminder, not to avoid online distraction, but to address the issues (primarily stress) that made me distracted in the first place. Similar tactics have helped me abstain from drinking excessively.

I imagine this sort of thing would work for any compulsive behaviour—interrupt the symptom, but mainly so that you’re more mindful of fixing the cause.

That home page... I love it. That is the best thing I've seen all day.
