Install and Configure StayFocusd

Full size

Using the Chrome web browser, download and install the StayFocusd extension.

To get started using it, you need to determine which sites you burn the most unproductive time on. When you have even just one offending site in mind—we'll use Twitter and Facebook in our examples—you're ready to go. To set up which sites to block with StayFocusd, simply navigate to an offending site, then click the StayFocusd button in your Chrome toolbar. A drop-down dialog appears with a link to Block this entire site.

By default, StayFocusd allows you ten minutes to browse the sites you add to your blocked list (in total—you can adjust this number in the extension settings), so you can still indulge a little before you're blocked for good. You'll notice that when you visit a site you've added to your blocked list, the StayFocusd button turns red. If you click it, you'll see a timer counting down your allotted browsing time.

You won't always want StayFocusd to play the disapproving watchdog—after all, you're notalways working, are you? So next, set the time periods during which StayFocusd should stand between you and these sites. The morning is a good time to slog through the bulk of the day's work, so let's say you want to allow yourself recreational browsing only after 3 p.m. on weekdays. Right-click the StayFocusd button and select Options.

Click the Active Days link in the sidebar to set the days of the week you want StayFocusd to actively monitor and-if necessary-block you from accessing the sites on your block list. Tick the checkboxes next to Monday through Friday.

Now click the Active Hours link to adjust the hours during which StayFocusd will restrict your browsing. Set it to the hours you want—in our example, let's say 8AM to 3PM—and click the Set button.
