How about using two computers?

Buy the cheapest one you can find for the internet connection, and put it in an inconvenient position, for example where you have to stand while using it. After downloading everything you had on the list, always shut it down, to create a trivial inconvenience for starting it again.

Paul Graham tried something similar. It didn't work very well. My previous experiences with creating trivial inconveniences have also been far from encouraging.

More significant inconveniences, then? Paul didn't make his computer really physically awkward to use as Viliam suggested.
