Dopamine Toll puts a price on distraction. When you open a site on your block list like X, Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube Shorts a full-screen gate covers the page before it loads and a countdown begins. While it runs, you see a photo of a goal you set (your "north star") and a reminder you wrote to yourself. Only when the countdown ends can you decide: close the tab and stay productive, or open the site anyway for a time limit you choose. When that window ends, the toll returns. It is friction, not a hard block, the choice stays yours, but you have to slow down and make it on purpose.
