Concentration
Read Latest Documentation - Browse GitHub Code Repository
Stay focused on work when you want, and goof off when you don't. Concentration is a simple Python 3 console utility to block distracting sites when you need to focus, while allowing you to easily take timed breaks. Concentration uses the /etc/hosts file as the mechanism to block sites, and works on Linux, Macintosh, and Windows.
Installing Concentration
pip3 install concentration
Or, if pip is already set to use Python 3
pip install concentration
Or, if you wanted concentration installed and ran in an isolated environment, consider using pipx:
pipx run concentration
Using Concentration
To keep focused (blocking distracting sites):
sudo concentration improve
To take a small 5 minute timed break:
sudo concentration break
To take a long 60 minute timed break:
sudo concentration break -m 60
You can cancel breaks with Ctrl-C.
To disable blocking until you explicitly enable it again:
sudo concentration lose
Configuring Concentration
You can add more files to the blocked list by putting them in the following files (new line delimited):
- ~/.concentration.distractors
- /etc/concentration.distractors
You can make sure sites are visible even if concentration is enabled by putting them in the following files (new line delimited):
- ~/.concentration.safe
- /etc/concentration.safe
Thanks and I hope you find concentration useful in your effort to get more done!
