Add me to the list - I'm in for $100 if we can make it a one week outage. $250 if we can stretch it out to two weeks.

I'm sorry, but 10 minutes on a saturday morning does nothing for me.

My router at home blocks Reddit and HN except from 5-7pm and 11:45-midnight (and all day Saturday). Worked amazingly well to cut back the addiction. Now if I could just get HTTPS blocking to work on FB and Twitter.

You can lock yourself out easily with noprocrast and minaway set to a week or two (say 60 x 24 x 10). At least one prominent HN'er claims to have done this when needing a break.

Happy to have been of assistance; please send the $250 to GiveWell. ;-)

Without meaning to sound snarky or anything, isn’t there something else at work if you have to externally block sites to stop you procrastinating?

I would have thought getting to the root cause of your “HN addiction” would probably be a better alternative.

OK, I'll bite: how do I go about finding the root cause?

I do the same. It works pretty well, it's crazy when you start catching yourself trying to go to one of them by habit.

I don't know why but I find myself opening new tabs without thinking about it. On Facebook? Ctrl+T, fa, down arrow, enter. Why? Who knows, I was already there... That's when I noticed that I have some major problems.
