This whole topic sounds weird and I'm probably exaggerating a little. Can't believe this is a problem of mine :p | ||

Being able to have self control, or at least the knowledge that you can control it if you want to, is a comforting feeling to have. If i were you, I would do this only in your mind. What I mean by that is, I dont think you should block, or even get your self temp-banned from TL. What you should do is any time you find yourself wanting to go to TL or actually visiting the site, do something else, and make that a "specific" something else. Like, think maybe that "Anytime I feel the urge to go to TL, I'm going to play a game of Starcraft instead". This way, it gives you a buffer of time to take TL off your mind, as well as letting you do something else. Also, I would take any links/bookmarks/extensions for TL off your browser, just so the available urge is a little less sudden. Good Luck! Thanks a lot for good advice. Will try that ![]() | ||

Also isnt there some sort of 3rd party software that blocks websites? Put a password on that, and then ask someone you trust to lock webs. Or to be honest, you're whole account if you're studiyng. | ||
