Attention training by wolfram77

Have you been sometimes spent a lot of time on social media and video sharing websites? Is the monkey in your mind taking over the steering wheel (See Tim Urban's talk on procrastination)? We share with you this that helps you remain focused on a topic of study for extended periods. It does this by blocking distracting websites for a specified period of time. It also provides a timer to help you keep track of your study time. Use this along with the Pomodoro technique to get the most out of your time.

When its study time, you can set a fixed duration, such as 25 min, or leave it blank to continue for an unspecified duration, and click Start. We include four different modes of blocking websites. These include Novice, Competent, Professional, and Legendary.
- Novice mode closes blocked websites afer 20 min.
- Competent mode closes blocked websites afer 5 min.
- Professional mode closes blocked websites afer 1 min.
- Legendary mode closes blocked websites immediately.

Higher modes are rewarded with more bounty, and as your bounty increases, your rank increases from Cadet to Cadet II, Officer, and so on (this is our gamification element). This extension is currently in beta, and we are working on adding more features. We would love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

We have included a default blocklist of websites that are distracting. You can add more websites to the list by adding their domain names to the list. You can also exclude websites from the list, or include remote lists of websites to block.
