Unfortunately, Roblox does not support scripts to be closed without parenting them to nil. Because this has caused issues with scripts disappearing, I removed functionality for scripts to be closed during burnout blocks.
However, this defeats the purpose of the plugin and I will thus be deprecating it. Thank you for visiting the post, and if Roblox adds support for closing scripts, I will continue the project again.

What is this plugin and how does it work?
This plugin forces you to take breaks. There is no skipping sessions or cheesing your way out, because a break is more important than your upcoming burnout.
Your burnout is blocked every thirty minutes for five minutes. During this time, the viewport is completely blocked and your scripts are unopenable to prevent temptation.
It looks something like this:
Why prefer this over a Pomodoro session?
Pomodoro allows you to skip your breaks, simply put. From experience, I know that after a few times of using it I decided to skip most breaks, and it became ineffective. Usually my excuse was that I was in the middle of something or “on the grind,” but I realize now that those claims I made to myself were usually false.
Burnout Block prevents you from working for five whole minutes, so during that time you can browse twitter, get some water, or drink and tweet at the same time.
Does this actually help with burnout?
Yes, it does.
I’ve had this plugin as a local copy for quite some time now because I wanted to personally improve my health and energy. After a while of having this, I’ve found myself to be less stressed, less tired, and of course, not burned out.
I recommend that anybody who has issues with burnout to give this plugin a go for a bit and see if it helps!
Where can anybody get this plugin?
This plugins is on the Roblox library. You can find a link to it below:
Be advised that it has no buttons or toolbar, so it won’t appear in the plugins tab. When installed, it will begin running.
Closing notes
Thank you for reading this post! Even if nobody finds use of this, that’s okay, because at the end of the day I’m glad I was able to post a resource I at least found genuinely helpful for me.
I hope that if you use it, your health and wellbeing improves. Let me know how it goes in the replies below!
