How do you put permanent blocks and time limits on websites and be able to get around them only when you really need to?

[thecel]

I want to block and put time limits on websites and prevent myself from being able to unblock them, but I want to avoid running into a situation where I actually need to use blocked websites and I can't.

For example, let's say I set up parental controls (with a random password that I don't know) on my computer, and I made it limit my YouTube time to 30 minutes a day. This will work fine until I have school assignments that require me to watch YouTube for longer than that time limit. If I make a workaround system that allows me to extend the time, then I'd probably just extend the time every day. This already happens on my phone—I set up Screen Time limits, but I always press the "Ignore" button when the "time limit reached" screen pops up.

How do you put permanent blocks and time limits on websites that are both:

1. not so strict that you can't access blocked sites when you have good reasons to
2. not so easy to get around that the blocks are ineffective

?

Use a calendar, write down the task your doing, dont stop until task is done, once everything is done you can rot 10 min then go back to work, or you can PM me i will shout at you

Use app called cold turkey you can block off websites during certain times of the day or set a time limit

Shit like that just ain't gonna cut it. I need a system that I cannot turn off without wiping my hard drive. However, there has to be a way for me to make exceptions without the potential for abuse.

On phone:
Settings > screen time > downtime/app limits

I said this doesn’t work for me

I set up Screen Time limits, but I always press the "Ignore" button when the "time limit reached" screen pops up.

bro just use common sense. your proposal is impossible. "how do I permanently block off a website without doing it" my best suggestion is to get ur mom to set the password as u close ur eyes, so u have to bug her every time u want to be a lazy fuck.

You-tube is too addictive.

It's impossible to quit tbh

I don't think you are addicted to youtube or .me, no need to place blocks.

Start doing something productive and you like doing it and boom, you will spend less time on these sites overall
