We must stop pretending that we can implement restrictions that will keep us from becoming unfocused. You can delete your account, but you can always recreate it. You can add facebook.com to your etc hosts file, but then you can always re-edit that file to allow those domains. Focus is a mental discipline. The only way to focus is to focus on focusing.

You're right. We can always bypass a block if we try.

That is exactly why I'm exploring other approaches. Since willpower is a finite resource, I believe tools can help us preserve it without relying on brute-force restrictions.
