Take Your Time Back

In the attention economy, your time is your most valuable curency - and you are being robbed of it in broad daylight...

or, should I say, screenlight.

It's not your fault... but it IS within your power to do something about it.

Take your time back.

Take your attention back.

Take your life back.

And then go to TakeOurTimeBack to help others do the same at scale.

Tons of blocker tools out there like LeechBlock and StayFocusd, this one redirects instead of blocks. I've found it useful.

I know I try to access timesuckwebsite.com that I know I browse when I actually should be squeeblerizing, and so I have timesuckwebsite.com redirect to squeeblerizingthesite.com.
I know that I have a bad habit of looking at ostensiblyusefulwebsite.com for information on underwater basket weaving, but end up sucked into endless scrolling the related articles and never actually finding the answers I am looking for. Sometimes I've actually just dealt with this by using uBlock Origin to banish the thing showing related articles; sometimes I just redirect ostensiblyusefulwebsite.com to an html file I made 3 years ago with links to good underwater basket weaving resources where I can probably turn up the answer with a little more concentrated effort.
Of course, you can also use this for other things (which I guess could be incremental time saving and lots of annoyance-saving) like redirecting minecraft.fandom.com to minecraft.wiki.
