How do I block myself from using Safari?
I work from home and I want to maximise my productivity by ensuring that I CANNOT visit certain time wasting websites during my self-imposed work hours. Here's what I've already tried:
1) Willpower - Don't have enough of it. Wish I did, but I don't.
2) Using the parental controls. Here are the steps I've taken: Click apple logo -> System preferences -> Parental controls -> Click 'Padlock' symbol -> Enter admin password -> Click on 'Guest User' (that's the only user I see) -> click on Web tab -> Click on the 'Try to limit access to adult websites automatically' tab. This highlights the 'Customise' button -> Click the customise button -> Click on the + button under 'Never allow these websites' -> Entered my favourite time wasting websites (twitter, Facebook etc...) -> Click OK -> Clicked again on the 'Padlock' item to prevent further changed.
That hasn't worked either.
I'm at my wits end here. What I need are either (a) crystal clear, ladybird book basic instructions on how to block these time wasting websites, and I mean clear to the point that a four year old could understand them because I'm evidently doing SOMETHING wrong, or (b) the name of a browser extension that blocks websites. I downloaded a great one for Chrome but I can't find one for Safari, or (c) Crystal clear instructions on how to just uninstall Safari completely.
Yours, in desperation,

P.S. - I'm using an iMac Desktop running OSX Maverick 10.9.5, if that's any help.
