Blocking websites I used to procrastinate has been helpful for me.
It's funny - if I really wanted to, I could take 30 seconds to google the article, type in the commands to unblock the websites, and then use them to procrastinate. But I don't. The 20-30 seconds is enough to prevent me to do it.
Applied Beware Trivial Inconveniences. I used that too some time ago to reduce procrastinating on my favorite pages. I just added them to /etc/hosts.
I wonder whether being effectively blocked by that 30-second obstacle is correlated with needing the blocking in the first place.
(It feels like it might be; on the other hand, I am a terrible procrastinator but strongly suspect that the 30-second obstacles would not suffice for me. Though perhaps I think that as an excuse for not putting the obstacles in place...)
