#About I have 0 idea if this works in practice.

Inspirations taken from bits and pieces of psychology studies and my own lazy-ass intuitions. Related slightly: Baumeister's work.

Previously tried using extensions that prevent distractions by fully blocking or restricting site usage (e.g. StayFocusd). Worked in the short term, but I would eventually just remove them out of inconvenience.

The goal is to aid the rewiring of wanting long-term goals (short-term happiness has value). Fun 'human-capital development' focused web browsing links are given as alternative browsing.
