Procrastinating is easier than ever thanks to the slew of fun apps on our phones, websites available at a click of a trackpad and, of course, social media; yet there is one vulgar website blocker out there that hopes to stop such unproductive distractions. Dubbed Go F##king Work, it basically tells people off in as blunt and harsh a way as possible -- of course while still allowing a few chuckles here and there.
Designed by tech entrepreneur and developer Alexander Lam, the vulgar website blocker is easy to use. Design Taxi writes, "Simply add your favorite websites to the list, and it will ‘graciously’ tell you to “get straight back to fucking work” if you try to visit them." In fact, it shouts it at you, which is quite effective.
