Last year, I built a CLI tool, called blockr[0] to easily block/unblock websites so that I can focus more on work. I had a few specific requirements:

- I use more than one browser and wanted changes to reflect across browsers - While on my daughter's computer, I wanted to permanently block a few websites, however, for my own computer, I wanted an easy way to activate and deactivate deep-work mode.

Technically, I don't do anything smart and utilitze /etc/hosts file, but this tool has really helped me overcome my Twitter addiction.
