"The Web is replacing the TV as the #1 time-thief in our lives. And, unlike the TV, the Web cannot be shared with friends; nor does it respect the boundaries of work. Thus you spend more time 'working' and less time socialising. This ramps up stress for everyone; but particularly affects those who charge by the hour (and thus actually lose money to procrastination, in addition to less free time).Thus we wrote MeeTimer, a Firefox extension that uses a two-pronged attack to curb your (misplaced) time online. First it makes you aware, explicitly showing you which activities and sites are taking up most of your time... you will be surprised! Second, it actively deters you from using a site, in case your willpower is not up to the task! "
