WHY IT WORKS:

The science of habit formation tells us that habits have three components:
1. Trigger (feeling bored/stressed/anxious)
2. Routine (automatically opening distracting sites)
3. Reward (temporary escape/entertainment)

This extension breaks this loop by:
• Intercepting the automatic routine
• Creating a mindful pause
• Offering wisdom and reflection
• Enabling conscious choices
• Building new, healthier patterns

• Breaking social media addiction

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Add your most distracting sites to your blocklist
2. When muscle memory kicks in and you try to visit these sites, you're interrupted
3. Instead of instant access, you're presented with Stoic wisdom
4. Use the reflection timer to break the automatic habit loop. Choose a delay that makes sense for you.
5. Make a conscious choice: continue mindfully or close the tab
6. Over time, build new, healthier browsing habits
