Procrastination Friction — Matt

This extension is for people who spend a lot of time procrastinating on the internet. I built this because I would waste hours watching useless youtube videos or browsing facebook. This extension helps interrupt browsing habits and gives the users a chance to think before accessing a site. Since I started using it I spend much less time procrastinating and more time doing the things I want to get done!

How it works:

• It only operates on sites of your choice. Choose a list of sites for the extension to be active on.
• When visiting an active site an overlay will appear, this will remind you to think twice and will show a list of alternative activities of your choice.
• If you choose to visit the site to procrastinate you will have to wait a set amount of time (you can customise this in the settings). The activities will remain displayed and it will suggest you think about leaving. Once the timer is up a button will appear allowing you to proceed to the site.
• If you choose not to visit the site the site will be blocked for a period of time (again this can be customised in settings).
• There is also an option to proceed to a site by clicking the work button. This will not make you wait at all. You have to be honest! Don't click it if you are procrastinating.
• Once you are on the site (either working or procrastinating) a timer will start, when this timer is up the overlay will reappear when you next interact with the site (this time is also customisable in settings).

We hope this extension helps you out and saves you some of your valuable time. If you come across any problems or have found the extension helpful we would love to hear from you.
