Anti-Procrastination Apps [URL & App Blockers]

Anything you install can be overridden/turned off/uninstalled by you. There's no software substitute for self-discipline.

 

...like not doing things you shouldn't be doing?

 

Yeah, Concentrate's pretty much the best you're going to find. Try turning off your modem, that'll help. I understand the feeling though. I went ahead and made an "activity" for study breaks with Concentrate, so it'll open up the apps I use when I'm breaking and shut them off when my time is up. Over time, I just got used to it, and I became more disciplined as a result.

 

Concentrate is great. If that's not enough enforced discipline for you, well, you have issues that software can't solve

Seriously, it's just software. You can't expect it to *change you.*

I use Concentrate to keep me on a single focus of either school or work rather than multitasking with both and being less efficient. It's a nice tool to keep me from flipping between tasks and getting distracted from the deadline I'm working on. But I can't expect it to be more than that. The actual discipline has to come from me, not Concentrate.

Good luck.

 

Theres actually an App called "self control" you set how long you want it to last, and it blocks the internet completely. I haven't found a way to unblock it once it's blocked, not even restarting will stop it.

here's the link to the App.

Perhaps researching on improving your habits or asking a professional for help will probably yield better results then relying on software to fight procrastination.
