I really really like the idea of allowing you to go to any website you want but you have to wait 10 seconds if you're supposed to be doing something else. Is there an existing chrome plugin that does this?
There's one called "Delayed Gratification" that does this, but for 30 seconds instead of 10. I don't think it's configurable, but it's super easy to use.
Ha, I discovered "Delayed Gratification" a couple of minutes ago and rushed to share the link with others... only to find out that someone had already mentioned it.
(Link to the Chrome Web Store.)
Thanks! Just started using this. I was initially annoyed that you can't see and edit the list of sites you've blocked all at once (unlike StayFocusd), but then it occurred to me that this might be a feature rather than a bug.
I think LeechBlock can be configured to do that, though I've never done so (and I don't know whether there's a version for Chrome of it).
That wouldn't work for me -- I've had lousy Internet connections for such a large fraction of my life that a part of my brain just takes the fact you have to wait to load a web page as a fact of life, and isn't frustrated by it enough for it to make a difference.
Yes, the "akrasia horizon" for many common distractions seems to be measured in seconds. A month ago I spent a few minutes trying to find exactly such an extension, without success. A substitute that only works on some websites and for some users is to change your password to a long string that you need to manually type in every time, as described here.
UPDATE: Delayed gratification.
