I've recently discovered another tool for fighting internet addiction. It is called Keep Me Out. To use the free service you enter the URL of a website that you find problematic. The Keep Me Out service creates a different URL which you then bookmark. If you use the Keep Me Out bookmark instead of the usual URL it will not allow you on the site again if you have been there within the last hour. For example you might have difficulty with visiting Facebook far too often. Keep Me Out creates a link such as this which you then click on which takes you to a page that says "Warning! You visited facebook.com less than 60 minutes ago! Why not come back in 55 minutes, 6 seconds?" Of course, it relies on you using the Keep Me Out bookmark instead of the usual URL, but it can be a useful tool for addicts of particular websites. |
