I struggled with procrastination a lot so on top of Pi-Hole I built myself an automatic procrastination tracker and blocker, this setup helped reduce my procrastination from several hours a day to almost nothing (over the period of several years of slowly unlearning the bad habits)

As someone who is struggling with procrastination, I'd love to know more about how it works and how it helped you overcome the bad habits.

    I understand, it's basically a wrapper around PiHole, which is a DNS server. This wrapper does several things, such as monitor dns log, change site destination, and monitors my devices and enforces itself as DNS server (thorough SSH)

    Project is here https://github.com/richard-hajek/environment-overseer/tree/b... the code quality is not amazing but it works haha

      Thank you for sharing this. Although I have a similar setup with NextDNS and ActivityWatch, it does not give me the same level flexibility like your project does. I'll be sure to check it out when I switch to PiHole.
