My 30-Year Quitting Addiction
There is a free and open source app called SelfControl for macOS. It allows one to block access to any site one adds to the list in the app for the amount of time the user chooses. Attempt to use multiple browsers, restarting one's machine, deleting the app, etc. won't get around the block either. It's been super helpful for me, so I thought I'd just throw it out there.

App to prevent distractions at work
It is SelfControl. it is open-source and free. You select the website you want to block and the time. the moment you click the button no matter what you do, you can forget about accessing those websites until the time is over; there is no cancel button. restarted mac won't work, you can delete the app no luck.

[Hammer Control] Hammerspoon + SelfControl = Scheduling SelfControl
I'm a huge fan of SelfControl, but the app doesn't let you schedule blocked sessions. auto-selfcontrol seems to not work that great on the newest SelfControl version, since the user needs to type in the password every time SelfControl starts. You can easily click cancel to skip the scheduled SelfControl session.

Is there a way to completely lock some websites for the whole day?
for mac - SelfControl app (you can set your websites blacklist/whitelist + time). In case you are not on mac, there will be definitely similar apps for other OSs. Just search for some of the keywords from their website /e.g. "apps limiting access to distracting websites" for windows etc./

[Question] any website blocker that won't unblock sites until I spend enough time on a particular app?
Not exactly but try https://selfcontrolapp.com/ it is a killer and will not allow you to access it till the block time passes.

I am looking for an Ubuntu tool to keep track of time spent actively using the computer
I have used a tool called Activity Watch, an open source project. But this is kind of too much for me.
- Ask HN: What apps do you use to focus?
- Is there any app that collects statistics for a "focus time" and provides information about all sites and software that was used in each moment of that time?
-
Do you accurately track your time?
If you want to do this independent of the PSA agent you can look at ActivityWatch to run on your own systems. If you really want to you can go into the Activity section of the Dashboard and get a pretty detailed view of what you had open, and you can use the Category Builder to auto-assign things to work, social media, etc.

Figuring out and keeping track of your Sims 2 playtime: A Reticulated Guide
ActivityWatch is another free software that allows you to keep track of your playtime, although that's an oversimplification of what it really is because it keeps track of all the windows you've opened on your computer. The main purpose of this app is helping with productivity, as it gives you a clue of what you've done on your PC and for how long.
