Programme to reduce internet usage

4

Hi everyone,

This probably sounds like a lame thing, but I was wondering whether there is a programme/Firefox add-on which you can use to "block" access to certain internet sites at certain times. When I work at my desk, there's always the temptation to look at Facebook, BBC News, and so on, and while this isn't a major issue, it sometimes gets in the way of concentration, knowing that the option is there.

So is there any programme which can "lock" internet access (maybe apart from Google Scholar)?

Yes, I know, sad...

There was a program for firefox (only) that does this, people on here used to use it, it blocked specified sites, during certain hours (which you set). Have no idea what it was called though, so not that helpful :-(
