Need help with time wasting websites?
Pretty much everyone is guilty of spending too much time on one site or another at some point while surfing the world wide web. Whether it’s playing addictive games, reading up on your friends on Facebook, or even jumping from page to page on Wikipedia, we all do it.
Maybe you have seen the software or browser extensions out there that will limit the time you spend on a website or at least keep tabs on how long you spend on a site.
We have found a website that doesn’t need to install anything, and it’s easy to use and to set up.
The website is http://minutes.at and all you have to do is determine the amount of minutes and then which site you want and type it like this: #ofminutes.minutes.at/thewebsite.com, for example 5minutes.at/yahoo.com will bring you to Yahoo! and will set the countdown at 5 minutes.
Basically at the end of the countdown you get a pop up saying your time is up, but it won’t close your tab or window so you won’t lose anything if you still want to keep surfing, but at least you will get a reminder.
You can also count up if you don’t want anything to happen other than keep track of time by putting howmany instead of #ofminutes, for example howmany.minutes.at/yahoo.com.

Your post is smashing. There are some issues here but don’t have the time right now. I’m bookmarking this page and leave this post to check again later and update my first comment (this one). By the way i found your blog post as i was searching for relevant subjects in Google. What makes this blog even better is that it’s using WordPress which is my favorite blog solution too
