How to Block Netflix on Chrome During Work Hours
Netflix is not a problem at 9 pm. It is a problem at 2 pm when one episode becomes three. Redirect can block Netflix only during the hours you set, so it is there when you want it and gone when you need to work.

Choose how pauses work
Pick pause lengths and a task to finish first. Wait it out. A 60 second wait is often enough to decide the episode can wait until tonight.
Tips for Netflix
Make it stick
- Turn on a schedule for weekdays, for example 09:00 to 18:00, and leave evenings free.
- Keep pauses long enough for one episode, like 45 minutes, with a daily limit of one.
- Add rules for other streaming sites too, so the habit does not simply move.
