My company has software that blocks access to restricted sites like YouTube and even web-based email sites throughout the day except for a two-hour spell during lunch.

I'd just posted a browser addon which blocks sites for you according to time periods that you set. It's extreme to completely revoke access from employees. At the same time an employee should be responsible enough to take action when he recognises an unethical addiction on his part. Besides the addon, there're other ways he can keep himself in check. Like having a colleague check up on him. Mine always gives a shoutout when she notices absolute silence from my cubicle. Like "Oi, did you fall asleep!" Except she doesn't say oi, and I wasn't asleep. Heh. I’d just posted a browser addon which blocks sites for you according to time periods that you set.
