Find yourself distracted online? You’re not alone. The temptation to open a new browser tab and secure a little dopamine hit from surfing the web is all to easy and saps your productivity.
If you use the Google Chrome browser, there’s a handy new extension which you can add that helps cure you of “Dorkarounditus.” It’s called StayFocusd (yes, there’s no “e” in there), and promises to keep you dialed in to the task at hand. From the website:
“StayFocusd is a productivity extension for Google Chrome that helps you stay focused on work by restricting the amount of time you can spend on time-wasting websites. Once your allotted time has been used up, the sites you have blocked will be inaccessible for the rest of the day.It is highly configurable, allowing you to block or allow entire sites, specific subdomains, specific paths, specific pages, even specific in-page content (videos, games, images, forms, etc).”
