Eliminate distraction and focus on your task!

This entry is provided in English on a trial basis.

Nowadays, it is not too much to say that no job is completed without using the internet. Its emergence significantly changed our way of working.

But at the same time, nothing is as noxious as the internet. YouTube, Reddit, 4Chan, ... so many distracters are encompassed in it.

Therefore, to eliminate such "toxins" from your brain can drastically improve your job performance.

A useful Google Chrome extension to achieve this is available: BlockSite (BlockSite - Stay Focused & Control Your Time - Chrome Web Store)

Note: I'm not involved in the development of this app and I have nothing to do with its developers.

Its easy-to-use design allows us to regulate our access to distracters; all you have to do is put a web address you want to block in the box.

Six sites can be added to a block list at the maximum. Unlimited block list will be available if you upgrade to the premium version.

If you try to access to a website that is in your block list, some funny screens like the one below will pop up and your attempt will be foiled.

Quite simple, but being unable to access distracting websites helps you concentrate on your task.

While working at home has now become ubiquitous due to the pandemic of COVID-19, it requires a great deal of self-control to focus on your task at home. BlockSite might revamp not only your job performance but also your whole life.
