And Shockwave, and Java, and then I'd start playing HTML-based interactive fiction. It's a good idea, but 'flash' is just shorthand for the genre of casual games in general ... it's not as if I'm a huge fan of Flash's technical architecture.

I think you're rejecting this too quickly. Uninstalling flash should make these games less attractive (since flash games are bound to be more rewarding than text games) which should make it easier to use other strategies to reduce your motivation to switch tasks. Consider doing this in conjunction with other strategies.
