Started unplugging my DSL modem for periods of offline work or reading e-books off an internet capable device when I don't want to be distracted by impulsive browsing. If stuff comes up that I want to look up, I write a line on a post-it note. Seems to be just the right level of annoyance to get up and plug the thing back in that I won't do it without thinking.
I used to block my favorite sites in /etc/hosts during periods of procrastination. Worked well enough and doesn't prevent necessary online work (VPN...).
I use StayFocusd(Chrome plugin) for similar purposes.
I use Microsoft Family Safety (one of the parental controls that comes with Windows) to set up times when I can or can't use the computer / internet / specific sites. My wife has the password and enforces it. I've also used Internet Lock in the past for the same purpose.
