Hello,
I purchased Inet Protector for myself some time ago. I have ADD and I have the ability to hyperfocus on certain things, but these are often the wrong things. As such, the internet presents a world of both opportunity and its own unique pitfalls for myself. I've been able to discipline myself to a large extent, but I'm still prone to screwing up and wasting a large part of the day from time to time. That's why I purchased Inet Protector; to limit the amount of time that I spend on non-work related internet usage. I wrote a long, random password and stuffed it away in multiple, but relatively inconvienient locations.
The program has worked fine for me. I've allowed the sites that I need for work-related research and allowed everything except for web browsing (which suits my needs just fine). I was allowing it for certain blocks of time (like lunchtime and 4-5pm in the afternoon). That works fine.
Really, however, I'd like to allow it only for one hour per day on a quota (but I don't want to be able to use the quota early in the morning as it's a bad, unproductive way to start the day).
Anyway, I couldn't get quotas to work so I allowed all hours on the schedule. Then, I still couldn't get quotas to work. FWIW, if I have to choose, I'd rather use the quota than the schedule.
Anyway, here's what I'm trying to do:
-Allow 1 hr of usage per day on non-work related sites (2 hrs on Fridays, which are typically slower)
-Disallow even quota usage between 8am and 10am as well as between 1:30pm to 2:30pm (just a lazy post-lunch tendancy)
Further, if I could, I would allow unlimited and quota-free access after 5pm (but I don't think that is possible with the program).
Anyway, here are my questions:
-Can I use quotas coupled with the schedule (so that even quota usage is disallowed early in the morning)?
-Why can't I get the quotas to work in the morning?
