It's most definitely in the "tech to solve human problems" camp.

Interesting to hear that you feel more stressed when you lock yourself out of palette cleansing sites. For me, I sometimes get this background anxiety/agitation when working in front of a computer for long periods of time, which can tip me into distraction when I hit something frustrating.

My computer is a shared leisure/work machine, which means that it can fall into the "working in the bedroom effect:" I find that I don't work well in that space because it's where I sleep and relax at the end of a day.

I create a boundary between relaxing/working states by changing environment: going to a coffee shop, office, or another room.

For some reason, this script has a similar boundary/environment effect on me: an intentional step to create a different "space" where I am working.
