    SelfControl app [0]. Give it a list of sites you wish to block, email providers, etc, and it's a bit of a pain to work around unless you really know MacOS networking deeply or cheat and search for it. You can increase the block length time with some quick tweaks. Use the Accessibility Color Filters to make your machine greyscale. Works fine. Reduces brightly colored distractions. But... really, read Cal Newport's stuff on Deep Work and stop using a computer for a lot of those tasks. [0]: https://selfcontrolapp.com/.
