To some extent that's what this does, it has a to-don't list of sorts; the list of sites you'd like to block. I'd suggest just deleting all social media accounts, you won't miss them. Email is still king.

Yes. But __maybe__ if the To Don't stared you down as well that would be helpful. Maybe even keep score somehow? Evidently, afaik, a score is a good nudge when it comes to influencing human decision making / behavior.

Ultimately, these things fail us (or us them?). I'm what-if'ing a couple of tweaks that might help just a little bit.
