For those looking to try a less drastic version of this, I recommend LeechBlock:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/leechblock/

It lets you list websites and then set rules around when and how much you can access them. My current way to set it up: during business hours, I have to wait 60 seconds to access a distracting website. And by wait, I mean sit there and stare at the countdown screen; if the window loses focus it cancels the countdown.

I'm amazed at the number of times a day I try to access something like HN when, after 5 seconds of thought, I really don't want to.
