Please leave.
mmnml:
if you’re feeling that distracted, the last thing you need is a web site about minimalism.
please really think about this for at least 20 seconds.
then, close this window, and go disappear into your real work.
instead of repeatedly visiting a web site about how to avoid distractions.
good work.
