First is require challenge – after enable, you will must type long, difficult text in browser when you want change StayFocusd settings. Of course you can add allowed sites as exceptions – but who need exceptions, right? Extension author provided two additional settings. Important: you will be not able to change this list when your daily time expired and must wait to time reset, remember this. Be honest and type ALL your favorite pages non-related to work. List of websites, that browsing should decrease our allowed time. In default it’s midnight and it’s ok for day work. Daily reset time is hour when StayFocusd will reset and allow us to wasting time again. We don’t need restrictions all the day, we don’t all the day, right? It’s simple to set time start and time end to calculate our wasting-time-browsing. We can set active days when extension will be active and block websites, for example our working days – it’s nice solution. Second thing – active days, active hours and daily reset time. Of course you can change something else, I decided to still use default settings and reduce this time in the future. Short? Believe me, it’s a lot of time to quick look of news or watch one short movie. Yes, it isn’t force-addon to completely stop us, it’s better and make changes in our today work slowly without big shock. First setting is max allowed time per day for our breaks. Why? Because you should changes “rules of the game, during game”. It’s very important, because many future changes will require time to wait – day, or several hours to apply. This extension can help you, prevent to do such things. A lot of small breaks, and work waits for you. Yes, you can use RSS and for example Feedly, but you can still visit pages manually and treat its like a “small break”. Just think how much time you spend on opening extra, unnecessary cards in your browser? How many times have you visited the same site for news? Again and again… several times in a day. What is the main task of this extension? It can block frequently visited websites and encourage us to back to work. There is no version for Firefox or Safari, but there are many similar alternatives. StayFocusd is an extension to Google Chrome, so you can also install it also on Opera, Vivaldi and Chrome forks. How can we deal with it? There is one, nice extension for browser called StayFocusd. We can do anything, but not what we should. One moment on Facebook, one moment on YouTube, maybe we check news on Twitter and buy something on eBay? Yes, we know that – it’s a problem of procrastination. Sometimes work is big and we looking for… something else. This is especially noticeable visible during remote work, where we decide what and when we do it. Concentration is not an easy art and sometimes causes a lot of problems.
