Distraction is a pain.

I useself control, This is a nice app for Mac that can stop my distracting websites. Like Reddit and news sites. It is common for me to open a news website when I encounter an unsolvable problem or are doing meaningful work.

But sometimes I can't really block the entire website. For example, StackOverflow cannot be blocked. However, some of its UI does annoy me, such as network issues.
