Windows 10: Procrastination problems and my weird solution

If you would know me, you would probably say that I am the most procrastinating person in the whole world. And I can't get stuff done because I procrastinate so much.

So here's the thing: I just can't make myself get off youtube or games or things like these. I can try, but at one point I am going to get bored and open those apps again. I can shut down my phone, but I might need to do things on my computer.



And so, I came up with a solution : create a program that I can use in order to restrict myself from using those specific apps for a set amount of time, and even if I want to lift the restriction, the program wouldn't let me. Not even as an admin, not by introducing a password or a code; I want to be completely restrained from using those apps so that there wouldn't exist any way I could access them before that amount of time passes.



Now, my only problem is this: I don't think I have the knowledge to create something like this, and I don't even know if there is possible to create such a program. Now please, tell me, if anything like this would work out, if there is any way to create such a program, I need to know.



Have a nice day!

Procrastination is a growing problem

A study spanning over 10 years has figured out that procrastination is on the rise. The problems with this aren't very hard to figure out. If people are constantly distracting themselves from what needs to get done, then not only does the procrastinated project seem rushed and of poor quality, but procrastinators are making themselves fatter, more stressed, and poorer. The problems with procrastination aren't just on a personal scale. People who procrastinate on their taxes are estimated lose an estimated $400 a year. Professor Steel, who helped conduct the study, claims "That stupid game Minesweeper -- that probably has cost billions of dollars for the whole society." While some people would ask why people procrastinate in the first place, the real question should be "why not?", as distractions are as close as the start menu on most home and office computers. Over 26% of Americans admit to being chronic procrastinators.
