Folks have even asked me how they can cultivate habits like his when it comes to their work or studies. If you are looking to completely block sites in Firefox, then Impulse Blocker and Block Site add-ons can be useful too.Recently everyone’s been talking about how focused world champion and playoff MVP Kawhi Leonard is. This is a simple but useful Firefox add-on that helps you in staying focused by cutting down time spent on mindless browsing. Privacy: Enable or disable the option of sending error reports from here. You can then continue to unlock for the time interval selected or for the time left in the daily limit. If you try to unlock when your daily limit is about to exceed, Intention will display a warning about it. This section also shows a daily breakdown of visited websites and their duration. You can change it as needed from the Daily Limit drop-down menu. Also, there is a default daily limit of one hour. Stats: Keep a track of the restricted sites visited and for how long from here. Using this option seems a bit restrictive though. Also, you can select the days on which Intention will be active. Then, select the Start Time and End Time. Schedule: To automatically lock sites based on a schedule, enable the option of Set scheduled hours. This is useful when you’d need to check messages from social media sites but not the content feed or the timeline. You can also permanently allow specific pages of the distracting sites by adding them to whitelisted pages. Sites: Add and remove sites from the restricted list from here. There are four different options for configuring Intention: Sites, Schedule, Stats, and Privacy. To configure options for Intention, either right-click on the add-on icon and select Manage Extensions or click on the gear icon in the banner. Enabling this will automatically lock all the websites for five minutes when the timer ends. There is another option below it which is cooldown. You can end the timer anytime if needed without waiting for it to complete by clicking on the add-on icon and selecting End Timer. Using this feature is useful if you are researching or want to use the site for information purposes but not for mindless browsing. When this is enabled, the time spent on the website won’t be counted in the daily limit quota.
This is by enabling the option of Productive session.Įnter a description for the session if needed. OPTIONS: By clicking on the OPTIONS tab, you can bypass the daily time limit. It will resume once you go back to the site which was unlocked. This timer will only be active as long as you are on that site, if you switch to a different tab that has some other site, the timer will pause. Once the site is unlocked, the Intention add-on icon will display the countdown timer based on the unlock interval. You can select a custom interval in minutes too if needed by clicking on Custom. There are also set intervals like 5 minutes and 15 minutes. This is useful as it brings accountability and awareness when browsing without wasting too much time on the site. You can still access the site but you’d need to unlock it first (the default unlock interval being 1 minute) or by selecting from the available time intervals. CURRENT STREAK is shown in days and if you regularly stay within the daily time limits for restricted websites, this will accumulate as days. STATS: This shows how many times you have visited the site, the number of times it has been unlocked, the current streak, and the time spent on it. This banner has two sections: STATS and OPTIONS. Once added, whenever a site from the list is accessed, Intention will display a banner rather than loading the website. Click on Add to add them for tracking usage.īased on your browsing history and time spent on different sites, Intention can also give personalized suggestions for sites that can be added to the list. Intention already has a list of suggested sites. The add-on will be available as an icon next to the Firefox address bar too.Īs this add-on needs access to tabs to check for restricted sites, click on Allow for the option about accessing browser tabs.Īfter the permissions are enabled, add the sites that you feel waste a lot of time when browsing. There will be a quick launch page that briefly describes what it does.
