The easiest blocker to beat is one you can switch off in one click. A typing challenge adds just enough effort. In Redirect, open a rule, and under Pauses, choose Type a paragraph. Pick the pause lengths you allow, like ten or twenty minutes, and set a daily pause limit if you want one. Now, to take a break, you type a short passage exactly, punctuation included. Pasting does not work. Finish it, and the site opens for the time you picked, with a small floating timer showing what is left. Not your style? Try a reason prompt, a math challenge, a breathing pause, or a 60 second wait instead. Get Redirect at heyredirect.com.
