If you have a mac, and struggle with internet self-distraction like I do
("I just don't think I can write another word until I find out what
Phoebe Cates has been up to lately") there's a beautifully simple
application that might help you called Freedom. It blocks your
computer's internet connectivity until a predetermined number of minutes
has passed, or you restart - which is nice as a barrier high enough to
stop me cheating, but low enough enough that I'm not terribly
inconvenienced in an emergency.

For some reason the idea of becoming too dependent on it makes me uneasy
(shouldn't I learn some self-control eventually?) but used like
caffeine, as some extra mojo to power through something once in a while,
it's awesome.
