Become a 10x Programmer by Managing Your Time Better

I added

0.0.0.0 www.facebook.com 0.0.0.0 www.gizmodo.com 0.0.0.0 gizmodo.com 0.0.0.0 www.drudgereport.com 0.0.0.0 www.reddit.com 0.0.0.0 news.ycombinator.com 0.0.0.0 lobste.rs

to my hostfiles.

Sure, I can remove them if I want, but the extra effort keeps me from doing it. I left messenger.facebook.com open so that I can talk with people.

I recently found out about messenger.com and I've been using it over facebook.com.

Result? I don't use facebook anymore, it's just a colossal waste of time.

I did this as well and, surprisingly, it has been effective at keeping me off of Facebook + Reddit (I'm find with Hacker News).

Yes, HN's built-in anti-procrastination features make it so that I don't mind having it out of this hostfile.
