Start gentle with awareness and limits, escalate to hard blocks when a site doesn't deserve negotiation. Give every distracting site a daily budget. When it's spent, the site is done for the day. Apply limits only when they matter β work hours, study blocks, evenings. Free time stays free. A subtle on-page countdown keeps remaining time visible, so the limit never surprises you. Some sites just need to be off. Block them completely β no countdown, no exceptions. A short, mindful pause before a distracting site opens. Most reflex visits end right there. Daily and weekly trends show exactly where your attention goes β and where it leaks. Hide Shorts, Reels, recommendations and other attention traps while keeping the parts you need. Extra protection for your focus sessions, so a moment of weakness can't undo your settings.One monkey. Eight ways to protect your focus.
