I'm really having a hard time focusing on work because I keep getting distracted by Reddit and YouTube. Is there a way to block just those platforms on my Windows PC without shutting down Chrome entirely? Also, can I block YouTube Shorts specifically? If so, where can I find the tools to do this and how do I set them up? On a related note, how do I stop my PC from going to sleep? I believe I've turned off all settings that would make it sleep, but it still happens.

If you're using Windows, you can totally stop your computer from sleeping by running this command in an admin command prompt: `powercfg /change standby-timeout-ac 0`. If you're on a laptop and want to stop it from sleeping while on battery too, just use `-dc` instead of `-ac`. That should do the trick!
You might want to try using tools like Cold Turkey or Freedom. They can help block websites and apps effectively. For blocking YouTube Shorts specifically, BlockTube works pretty well. As for keeping your PC awake, applications like Caffeine or Mouse Jiggler can help prevent it from sleeping. Good luck!
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll check those out.
